There are certain choices in life for which you need to make sure you do all the necessary research before making a decision. This is especially true when you’re considering senior living communities. Friendship Village Chesterfield and Friendship Village Sunset Hills are the area’s only two Life Plan Communities (also known as Continuing Care Retirement Communities) offering Life Care programs.
What Are the Benefits of a Life Plan Community with Life Care?
In addition to all the services and amenities you’ll find at our Chesterfield community and Sunset Hills community, a Life Plan Community gives you access to on-site Assisted Living, Memory Care, Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation, if ever needed. Life Care has the added advantage of giving you access to our full continuum of care, at essentially the same fee as your current residence. Plus, you’ll have financial certainty by ensuring you’ll have unlimited days of care at a predictable cost … for life. No other community in the St. Louis area offers The Life Care Difference.
As today’s older adults continue to look for flexible lifestyle options, we’ve added new ways — like our Life Care At Home Membership Program and Early Advantage Program — that allow you to enjoy everything our community has to offer, before you move in.
What is the Life Care at Home Membership Program?
Life Care at Home members live off campus in their own homes with the security of knowing they’re already part of the community. Once accepted into Life Care at Home, you join the community wait list for a future on-campus residence, and can enjoy the use of all campus amenities and services while you wait.
Life Care at Home members gain access to extensive services and amenities, including:
- Life Care protection with guaranteed access to all levels of care if ever needed
- Access to all on-campus activities, amenities, and special events
- Delicious dining with 5 meals a month included in your membership
- A way to meet your future neighbors through our FV Connections social app
- Our monthly “Village Newsletter,” mailed to your home
- Annual access to our care coordinator visit, on-site clinic and medical referrals
- Being placed on our community wait list.
What Is the Early Advantage Program?
Experience the incredible lifestyle of Friendship Village before you make your move with our new Early Advantage Program. You’ll experience all the social opportunities, amenities, programs, clubs and fun without moving. Plus, you’ll have priority access to our comprehensive health services.
Early Advantage Program members gain access to extensive services and amenities, including:
- Invitations to on-campus activities, amenities and special events
- Delicious dining options with 4 meals included each month
- A way to meet your future neighbors through our FV Connections social app
- Our monthly “Village Newsletter” mailed to your home
- Annual access to our care coordinator visit, on-site clinic and medical referrals
- Use of our on-campus clinic and outpatient rehab
- Access to our fitness center and heated pool, including water aerobics classes
- Access to our creative arts center, library, woodworking shop, and salon
- Invitation to join our Advantage Wait List
Becoming an Early Advantage Program member does require an entrance fee of $40,000 — which counts toward your move-in — and has a monthly fee of $400.
