What is Life Care at Harrogate, and why should it be important to us?
Related Frequently Asked Questions
How will I know when the time is right to start looking at a Life Plan Community?
“I always say, we should have done this five years ago. Come when you’re healthy and can enjoy it.” – Frank M., residentResidents who’ve made the move often look back and say they wish they’d moved sooner. They suggest people move in while they’re healthy and can enjoy community life before a health problem forces them to make a decision in a crisis. And they suggest moving while you and your loved ones have time to plan a comfortable transition, so there’s no rush with downsizing, selling the home, or making the move.
What if my loved one says, “I’m just not ready yet”?
“When people tell me they’re not ready, I think, ‘What are they waiting for?’ It’s just so wonderful here.” – Florence B., residentActually, that’s something we hear from people frequently – until those people move in! (See the above question for more on that). Ask your loved one to consider the following:
- Are they ready to give up household chores, property taxes, home repairs, and other time- and money-drainers?
- Are they ready to enjoy more free time for traveling, building new friendships, experiencing a variety of chef-prepared meals, and exploring new opportunities?
- Are they ready to solidify a concrete plan for their health care, so that a family member doesn’t have to shoulder the full burden of caregiving?
- Are they ready to protect their assets from an unplanned health crisis?
Do residents have enough to do to stay active, vibrant and fulfilled?
“I swear it’s like my parents are getting younger by living at Harrogate.” – Susan F., daughter of a residentResearch has shown that for older adults, isolation, inactivity, and poor eating habits are the main culprits behind speeding up the aging process. But in a community setting like Harrogate, residents have full access to our fitness center and certified personal trainer, delicious and nutritious chef-made meals, and a neighborhood of friends, all just outside their apartment door. It’s all part of our goal to help residents live happier and healthier, for longer.
What about the hassle of selling and moving?

The Harrogate staff and the movers took care of everything — even hanging our pictures!” – Roberta M., residentBecause of our partnership with Moving Station, we’ll buy your home in ‘as is’ condition.
