THE VALUE OF LIFECARE AT CHRISTWOOD | COVINGTON, LA
Gain priceless peace of mind with LifeCare.
Despite the rumors, no one in the New Orleans area can accurately predict the future. But you can prepare for it. That’s where LifeCare comes in. LifeCare is a plan that provides financial security and peace of mind for you and your family. It enables you to live in an apartment or cottage home at Christwood with the assurance that, if your health needs change, you’ll have priority access to assisted living, memory care, rehabilitation, and skilled nursing on-site without a substantial increase in your monthly fee. With LifeCare, you’ll get the care you need from a team you trust in a community you love — at a price you can plan for.
“I wanted to be at a place where whatever my health needs were, they could be taken care of. Right now, I’m as healthy as I can be with no reason to believe anything will happen to me anytime soon, but I wanted to be prepared.”
THE VALUE OF LIFECARE
Quality care at predictable cost.
Imagine if the unexpected happened and you (or your spouse) landed in the hospital with a broken hip. Following surgery, your case manager told you that you needed to move to a skilled nursing facility before you could go home. Unfortunately, the choices are limited and not close to where you want to be. Feeling under pressure to make a decision quickly, you choose a facility that can admit you right away but, once there, it becomes clear that the care isn’t ideal.
It’s a difficult situation many families face when a loved one needs short-term rehabilitation but has limited choices for where to go. With LifeCare at Christwood, you can avoid this stressful situation. You’ll have priority access to quality care on-site from people you know and trust, including assisted living, memory care, rehabilitation, and skilled nursing.
LifeCare also helps you control the cost of care. If you move to a higher level of care at Christwood, your monthly fees won’t change substantially. With health care costs on the rise, LifeCare can make a big difference over the long term.
Last but not least, LifeCare helps protect your estate. Christwood offers contract options that guarantee a refund of your entrance fee up to 80%. As an added bonus, you may realize certain tax advantages with LifeCare.*
*The IRS has, in the past, allowed a portion of the entrance fee and monthly fees to be deducted as pre-paid medical expenses. Consult your tax advisor for guidance and information about your personal situation.
