I moved to Arcata in 1974 to attend HSU from Southern California and never looked back. I raised a family and had a 25 year career in the aging field as a Clinical Social Worker. My 2 adult children live out of the area and have independent lives. As I begin to think about my own aging and my priorities, I am thrilled about the option of a Life Plan community coming to this area.

My husband and I love our home that we built on Barry Ridge up in Kneeland 34 years ago. It is hard for us to imaging leaving. However, the model that LPH is proposing makes so much sense for us. Knowing we might be less of a burden to family as we age in a community that has assisted living, memory care and end of life care, provides true solace. The idea of living in

I love HumCo for its natural beauty, vibrant social scene and boundless artist community. Over the past 50 years my family and my career were blessed with a deep appreciation for our healthy, active and supportive community. LPH is well conceived & thoughtfully planned with a universal design rooted in the objectives of comfort, confidence and safety as we become more dependent. I’m strongly attracted to the design of as-needed services available within the community

I’m not living in Humboldt by accident. I’ve lived in other countries, other climates and other cultures from Alaska to Mexico. I choose to live here as long as I can. LPH gives me that choice and that means so much to me. I have friends who have moved away from their Humboldt home who make nostalgic visits here because it calls to them. I hope not to be separated from my home and yet

I grew up in the Midwest and always wanted to live on the West Coast. 36 years ago I made the big move and ended up in majestic Humboldt County. I met my wife here, raised a family, and developed my medical career. I realize that someday I will not want to take care of my home and property. Moving to LPH life plan community will allow me to stay in this corner of California.

For 25 years I have benefited from the culture/lifestyle of Humboldt County and enjoyed its beautiful environment. In my senior years, I want to remain here. I love my little abode, but Life Plan Humboldt will become my second home which will provide the medical and social options needed for my “golden” years. I support LPH and applaud its staff who will make LPH possible for Humboldt County. Margaret Augustine
