A Valuable CONVERSATION
It’s never too early to start considering your retirement.
W
hen you envision a new chapter of your life, you may imagine leisurely strolls, days spent in the backyard playing with grandchildren or checking destinations off your travel bucket list. Future
care may not even cross your mind, but most people will eventually need some form of care as they grow older.
Te partnership between Landis Communities and Friends Life Care has been a vital resource for many older adults who desire to age in the comfort of their own home. Friends Life Care has approximately 2,500 members, with 50 of them also a part of Landis Communities. Care Coordination is provided by Friends Life Care and in-home care is provided by Landis Communities through Landis at Home.
Friends Life Care, based in Blue Bell, PA, has a Quaker background and a mission that aligns with that of Landis Communities. Te partnership was a natural fit and according to Carol Barbour, former CEO of Friends Life Care, their staff have always demonstrated enthusiasm and commitment for the program and the member experience.
“It’s exciting to expand the number of people we reach through the partnership,” Carol said. “We help people maintain their independence and delay the need for care in a nursing home or other facility.”
Jay Hilliard, Plan Counselor, presents the program to interested parties via seminars, webinars, and one-on-one consultation. “Tere are a number of Landis Communities employees who have joined the program. I think that says a lot!” Jay exclaimed with a smile.
Landis Communities Director of Operations Dot Hartman and her husband are among those members. Dot notes, “We don’t plan to slow down in the years ahead, but being members of Friends Life Care ensures we can have peace of mind for the unexpected. It is also good to know that our children won’t have to be responsible for planning for our future needs. FLC membership provides long-term care insurance along with the benefit of the Care Coordinator, which will help us stay healthy and in our own home as long as possible!”
