Life Plan Communities, such as The Osborn, provide their residents with a full continuum of health options in one campus, as well as access to a wide range of services and amenities. At The Osborn, we provide peace of mind in knowing that health services are available, should the need ever arise.
In contrast, most rental communities do not include health services for their residents. If they do include health services, there is no guarantee of priority access or pricing for residents.
Since medical services are generally not offered at a rental community, residents requiring medical assistance while they recover from injuries or illnesses are often required to move from their home during their greatest time of need, resulting in a physical adjustment in lifestyle, as well as mental and emotional challenges.
