When you discover Continuing Life™ at La Costa Glen, your view of retirement will never be the same.
Because Continuing Life™ is a different, better kind of retirement lifestyle. And you'll only find it at La Costa Glen. To fully understand Continuing Life™, first you must understand what a 'Continuing Care Retirement Community' (CCRC) is. As generally defined by the State of California, a CCRC is an age restricted residential community, usually requiring an entrance fee plus monthly maintenance fees in exchange for a living unit, meals, health care coverage, including assisted living and skilled nursing. Certain other services and amenities like regular housekeeping, scheduled transportation, swimming and exercise facilities, and 24 hour security are often included. This 'continuum of care,' independent living, assisted living, and skilled nursing, offers residents the security and peace of mind of knowing that they have planned for their future.
Continuing Life™ makes La Costa Glen a different kind of Continuing Care Retirement Community. When you add Continuing Life™ to everything else this world class retirement lifestyle offers, it just doesn't get any better.
