Frequently Asked Questions

What are the attributes of a well-managed senior living community?

When choosing a senior living community, it's critical to find out who owns and manages the community - and to consider their reputation.

Timber Ridge, for instance, is managed by Life Care Services LLC (LCS). LCS is the leader in developing and managing senior living communities nationwide. For more information go to About LCS.

How can I find the best senior living value?

The best senior living value combines a package of services and amenities with priority access to health care and assisted living - all for an affordable entrance fee. At a LifeCare community - like Timber Ridge - residents pay for services and health care in an affordable monthly fee rather than on an expensive "a la carte" basis.

Many communities also offer a choice of financial plans that refund a percentage of the entrance fee to you or your estate, depending on your preference. Simply put, this type of community gives you more value for your dollar without sacrificing peace-of-mind.
