A CCRC is a housing community that provides different levels of care based on what each resident needs over time. This is sometimes called "life care" and can range from independent living in an apartment to personal care to full-time care in a nursing home. Residents move from one setting to another based on their needs but continue to live as part of the community.

For ultimate convenience, residents can choose to live in The Village, a five-story building containing 292 studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom condominiums with all amenities under one roof.

There is a choice of Lifecare Plans at Freedom Village, and your choice between these plans determines the type of refund you or your estate will receive, as well as the costs for your future care if you should ever need Personal Care, Dementia Care or Skilled Nursing.

With the Traditional Plan, your entrance fee depreciates, so the amount of your refund, if any, depends on the length of time you are living at Freedom Village.

The alternative contract, called The Partner Plan, is usually selected by residents who already have long term care insurance because the cost of any future health care is your responsibility (i.e. “fee for service”). Partners residents receive a refund equal to 100% of the original entrance fee plus 50% of the appreciation in your condominium’s value.

The Partner’s Plan at Freedom Village is well suited to people who carry long term care insurance because it can be utilized if higher levels of health care (personal care, dementia care, skilled nursing) are ever needed. Long term care insurance policies vary based on the plan, so consult your policy.
