If you’ve been exploring your senior living options, chances are you’re familiar with the appeal of a 55+ community: the pride of homeownership, a neighborhood of like-minded peers and the freedom to live on your terms. But what happens when you start thinking ahead – beyond golf courses and pickleball courts – to the future support you might one day need? That’s where a Life Plan Community like The Forum truly shines.
The Forum’s equity ownership model brings together the best of both worlds: the independence and financial benefits of owning your home in a senior living community, paired with the long-term peace of mind that comes from access to pre-arranged, onsite long-term care.
What is equity ownership?
Unlike traditional Life Plan Communities, The Forum operates on an equity ownership model, meaning you own your home. That brings familiar financial perks, such as potential appreciation and the option to sell. For many active older adults, this model feels like a natural continuation of what they’ve already experienced in their current homes: control, stability and a solid return on investment.
Much like in a 55+ community, you’ll enjoy a private residence and an active lifestyle, vibrant social spaces and amenities designed with your lifestyle in mind. But unlike many standalone 55+ communities, equity ownership at The Forum also comes with something more: the ability to plan for your future without sacrificing the way you live today.
What is a Life Plan Community?
A Life Plan Community (also known as a Continuing Care Retirement Community or CCRC) combines residential living with a continuum of care, all on one campus. That means if your health needs ever change, you won’t need to uproot your life or leave your friends behind. From assisted living to skilled nursing or memory care, the right support is always within reach.
How The Forum blends both
We’ve taken the best parts of 55+ senior living and integrated them into a full Life Plan Community experience. You’ll own your home and become a stakeholder in a beautiful, luxurious setting, that’s home to active older adults who share your outlook and energy. You’ll also gain access to health care services right on campus if you ever need them.
It’s a model that’s gaining traction for a reason. More and more retirees are realizing that the perfect lifestyle isn’t about choosing between amenities and peace of mind. With equity ownership in a Life Plan Community, you can have both.
Why residents choose The Forum
At our Life Plan Community, residents enjoy gorgeous surroundings, scheduled and spontaneous activity and a friendly culture – all with the advantages of ownership and a plan for long-term care.
For self-directed adults who pursue adventures large and small, The Forum presents a comprehensive option that outshines the limits of a standard 55+ community.
