Frequently Asked Questions About Life Care Retirement Communities

What is a LifeCare retirement community?
LifeCare offers a long-term contract to provide a continuum of care from residential apartments and homes to assisted living and then to nursing care. A LifeCare community may also be referred to as Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC).

Why choose a CCRC?
CCRCs offer seniors a fulfilling lifestyle with the assurance that extra assistance and health care will be provided as needed.

What levels of care are provided at CCRCs?
At Trezevant, spacious residential apartments and homes are offered in a campus-style setting offering stimulating activities, dining choices and social interaction for independent living. Assisted living apartments in Trezevant Terrace and a five-star nursing care home in Allen Morgan Health and Rehabilitation Center are offered on campus as part of the continuing care retirement community. The ability to move up in care as needed while staying on campus offers residents the assurance of quality, convenience and connectivity to their community.

What is residential living?
Residential living is designed to support a full, comfortable lifestyle for seniors. It provides residents with activities, services and other amenities while freeing them from heavy housekeeping and maintenance chores.

What is assisted living?
Assisted living is for those residents who require help with the activities of daily living (ADLs), but do not need nursing care. Trained staff is available 24-hours a day to help with meals, dressing, monitoring medications and personal hygiene.

What does Trezevant's CCAC Accreditation mean?
Widely regarded as a mark of quality for aging services, our CCAC accreditation means that Trezevant Manor has met or exceeded the standards of excellence set by the Continuing Care Accreditation Commission in three critical areas:
  •Health and Wellness
  •Governance
  •Finance and Strategy

How does a retirement community obtain CCAC accreditation?
Trezevant earned this accreditation through a voluntary process involving extensive self-evaluation by our staff, residents, board of directors as well as an on-site review by trained CCAC evaluators.

What are the advantages to accepting the Residential Reservation Agreement?
The Reservation Agreement allows a prospective resident to reserve a type of residence apartment or home while waiting for that type to become available, or while a current home is being sold. The agreement holds that home preference as the prospective resident's application and arrangements are being made. There is a Reservation Deposit required which is refundable less a $200 processing fee.

How long will I have to keep my name on the Wait List?
Time spent on the Wait List will depend upon your timetable as well as the residential unit desired, the current turnover and the demand for that apartment or cottage type.

If I am interested in moving to Trezevant Manor, but not ready to give up my home, when is the right time to move?
When you are settled in a house you love, it is difficult to make a big move to a retirement community. However, your good health is your best assurance for entrance. If you wait until you need assistance, it may be too late to quality for residency. Making a Reservation Agreement well before you think you need to move is strongly recommended. Our reservation option is for individuals who are planning for their future and would like to have a priority for their choice of residence.
