We hope to follow the model of some life plan communities by offering nursing and social work students the opportunity to interact with healthy older adults.  The students will not be providing medical care, but could perform health screenings or assist with care coordination under the direction of faculty.  

Although specifics are hard to predict, we expect to provide transportation locally for medical care, cultural events, outings such as hikes, museums and community social events. We can work with local government to assure links with public transportation.  Some life plan communities have contracts with Uber or Lyft so that residents can easily shop or visit friends and family off campus.

Skilled nursing construction and licensing is prohibitively expensive.  The trend is for life plan communities to offer rehabilitation and home nursing services on campus in the resident’s living unit in order to avoid the need for skilled nursing placement at all.  We are monitoring industry trends and will design alternatives to skilled nursing that are safe and comfortable for residents.  Examples of services that could be provided in the resident’s home are: physical therapy, wound

Yes.  We plan that a committee of residents would set the rules on pets, including limits of how many pets one can have.

Residents in independent living may have short-term guests. Unoccupied residences can be offered to visitors.  We plan a kitchen area for residents to use for entertaining visitors. We hope to include a 4-bedroom Air B&B-type home where families and visitors could stay with priority booking for Life Plan Humboldt residents.
