Friends Life Care Addresses Retirement and Care Options in a Changing Market
Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) May 02, 2014 -- Friends Life Care grew out of a concern for those wanting to plan ahead but not being able to afford to move to a campus-based retirement community. Today, 89 percent of adults envision remaining in their own homes for the rest of their lives with their financial security protected. People can buy long-term care insurance, but traditional long-term care insurance offers coverage but no actual caregiving, leaving patients to fend for themselves. Friends Life Care President Carol Barbour says Friends Life Care offers more options. “Friends Life Care offers comprehensive plans that not only contain costs but also coordinates and provides care and caregivers.” Barbour says this plan makes it easy for people to age in their own homes.
What really distinguishes Friends Life Care is their approach to independent aging. Membership includes the exclusive VigR program, a proactive, research-based program created to help participants make changes in habits and lifestyle that can help extend their health and resilience. “The VigR program can mean the difference between aging and aging well. Our members remain physically, mentally and socially engaged,” said Barbour. The VigR workshops include the latest information on diet, exercise, stress management and much more. Barbour says Friends Life Care is a unique alternative for boomers who want to take control of their future, plan ahead, remain active and remain in their own home.
Friends Life Care, a nonprofit Quaker organization, offers a unique, affordable alternative to traditional long term care insurance and continuing care retirement communities. The first and largest organization of its kind nationally, Friends Life Care has helped people remain in their own homes as they age for more than 23 years. Customizable plans combined with care coordination help members prepare for the unexpected at any age, while providing innovative options and prevention-based programs to help extend long-term health.
