Moving To A Retirement Community: The Decision Of A Lifetime.

But on the Chesapeake Bay, it can be just another family vacation.

It’s smooth sailing once they get here, but we know that the route to making that decision can be a little choppy at times: costs, moving, new lifestyle, making friends, concerns about the future…

But we’re a special, non-profit, Life Plan Community, and we try to ease the flow of decision-making by providing you and your parents with as much information and flexibility as possible. And that includes various fee structures, refundable plans, and fellowship assistance from the Westminster-Canterbury Foundation.

Call 800-753-2918 to find out more, or click here to contact us.

The best decision I ever made was coming to WC 6 years ago. Everyone is very professional, they know their job & they do it well. I was healthy and independent 6 years ago when I moved here & now I'm experiencing episodes of back pain that Stone Rehab is helping me with. It's a marvelous place! Joan Lottman, Resident, Stone Rehab experience

It’s hard for me to believe that I have not been off campus for almost five months with the exception of three doctor’s visits. Yet, I am perfectly content. I have had the opportunity to leave since March, but continue to choose to stay here where I feel safer and my days can be filled with many of the activities you have provided. Connie Rutledge, Resident
