Senior Living Options
A continuing care retirement community, also known as a CCRC, offers independent living plus additional levels of on-site health care should you ever need it. With a CCRC, you can enjoy active living today while planning for the future with peace of mind.
With independent living, you can continue to go about your life on your own terms. You're free to come and go from the community as you please and participate in as many or as few activities as you wish.
Most senior living options fall into two categories: 1) independent living and 2) continuing care. Generally, independent living is for individuals who are in good health and able to live on their own. Continuing care is designed for individuals in need of assistance with day-to-day tasks, or more complete care. Whether you require independent living or assisted living, our community offers the services and care you need to enjoy a safe and comfortable lifestyle.
Should the time come when you're no longer able to live on your own, you can make the transition to on-site continuing care.
If concerns arise about your ability to live independently, a member of our staff will meet with you and your family to discuss your options. You may be eligible to receive care inside your residence, or it may be recommended that you transition to on-site continuing care.
Assisted living is an integral part of continuing care at Greenspring, offering support for older adults who want to maintain their independence while receiving help with everyday activities like meals, bathing, or dressing. Residents enjoy a warm, supportive environment where comfort, dignity, and respect come first, with attentive team members available whenever assistance is needed. This balanced approach allows individuals to live with confidence, security, and as much autonomy as possible while knowing support is always close by.
One of the benefits to our lifestyle is that couples can stay together in the same community. If your spouse needs additional care but you don't, we'll work with you to determine a living situation that's right for you both.
