The right support, right when you need it
As a non-profit Life Plan Community (LPC) or Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC), a continuum of care is one of the greatest advantages of life at Mary’s Woods. It means residents can embrace today with confidence, knowing that if additional support is ever needed, it can be found within the same welcoming community.
Support for the journey ahead
From independent living to assisted living, memory care, and residential care, our approach is designed to preserve relationships, maintain dignity and provide peace of mind for both residents and their families. The best care supports not only health and wellbeing, but also the comfort, familiarity, and sense of home that matter most.
What is a Life Plan Community (LPC)?
In a Life Plan Community (LPC), seniors enjoy independent living with a vibrant social calendar, fitness programs, on-site dining, and maintenance-free living. The community fosters lasting relationships, combating isolation and providing a sense of purpose. Additionally, a retirement community offers continuing care, most often on the same campus, giving residents peace of mind, knowing they have a secure plan for the future should their health needs change. This approach to senior living allows residents to maintain a fulfilling lifestyle in a safe, secure, and supportive community setting.
What is Assisted Living?
When concerns of safety make independent living more difficult and isolation increases, assisted living offers the next level of support. Operating within a community setting, assisted living features individual care plans and tailored services. This safety net assists residents with daily tasks such as laundry, cooking, cleaning, and medication management. In assisted living neighborhoods, residents come together for dining, programming, cultural activities, and fitness classes. This setting caters to those requiring extra support, offering a range of care levels to ensure residents thrive in a supportive environment.
What is Memory Care?
Memory Care specializes in dedicated care for those with Alzheimer’s or dementia. Compassionate and supported staff with advanced training communicate effectively with residents facing cognitive challenges. The staff commitment, education, and the intentional design of secure environments ensure the well-being of residents in a safe and supportive setting. The focus on specialized training and empathetic communication underscores a community’s dedication to providing high-quality care and programming for individuals with memory-related needs.
What is Residential Care?
Residents with more complex long-term needs can benefit from Residential Care that offers comprehensive care, with 24/7 nursing support. This level of care is tailored to address more complex needs, offering a higher level of clinical and medical care and assistance over what is provided in assisted living. A team of health professionals coordinates and delivers a range of supportive services available on a 24-hour basis. This program approach, within a community setting, promotes resident self-direction and participation in decisions that emphasize choice, dignity, individuality, and independence.
Additional Support Services
On-Site Clinic
Unique among senior living communities, our walk-in clinic offers daily access to a licensed nurse for independent living residents, providing preventive services ranging from quick consultations and blood pressure checks to more involved services, such as wound care and medication management, for a nominal fee.
Short-Term Support
For added peace of mind, independent living residents receive up to 10 days each year of a healthcare benefit known as a “Short Stay.” Whether you’re recovering from a planned hospitalization, skilled rehabilitation stay, a medical procedure, or receiving hospice care, a Short Stay provides temporary support when you need it.
