Choosing to take advantage of Lakewood Manor’s life care benefit is a choice made by people who are planners. They enjoy the beautiful surroundings and the comfortable lifestyle of their home at Lakewood Manor and they value knowing that their futures are well planned.
With life care, people often just think about their future needs. However, at Lakewood Manor, life care is there to support and assist you all along the way. Take advantage of physical therapy upon your return to Lakewood Manor following surgery or enjoy the convenience of stopping in to see the nurse for a routine visit or just to pick up a prescription at the Clinic. The support system provided by life care starts the minute you move to Lakewood Manor.
The convenience of the services through assisted living and nursing care on-site at Lakewood Manor makes a difference in your well-being. You and the health services staff get to know one another through routine checkups, etc. When the need arises for short or long term care, you are among caregivers you know and who know you. Your spouse and friends are just down the hall, so staying in touch with one another is trouble-free for you and for them. With the support system provided by on-site life care, couples enjoy their relationship as spouses, because it is not necessary for them to become caregiver and patient. Life care is a safety net and brings a real sense of ease into your life. And, you can image the peace of mind all this brings to children and other family members.
Keep in mind that when you access health services, there will be no additional increase in your monthly fee. The only other charges will be the cost of two additional meals daily and any ancillary charges (i.e., medical supplies, pharmacy services, etc.). Through the payment of the entrance fee, you have prepaid in today’s dollars for your future health care needs available at Lakewood Manor. A portion of your entrance and monthly fees are considered by the IRS as prepaid medical expenses, which can be used toward qualifying for a tax deduction.
