Uncovering the Benefits of a Continuing Care Retirement Community

Retirement is such an exciting time, but it’s also a time for making decisions. Every individual’s needs and interests are different, which is why there’s no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to choosing a home. At Montereau, we understand that. That’s why we created a place made just for you, with the right level of living at the right time.

As a Life Plan Community, also known as a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC), we offer first-class living across the full continuum of care tailored to meet individual needs and help relieve some of the worries associated with managing your lifestyle as you grow older. If you are researching options for your retirement, you may be wondering:

What is a CCRC? What are the advantages of moving into such a community? And what does Montereau have to offer? Read on for more!

What is a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC)?

Also called Life Plan Communities for the way they help you plan ahead to map out your retirement, CCRCs all share a number of qualities:

  • First, CCRCs offer Independent Living focused on lifestyle. These private homes and apartments are just like you might live in any other community—but they come with benefits for seniors.
  • Many CCRCs give residents a wide range of services and amenities, from dining to fitness to campus activities, to help you enjoy your retirement lifestyle.
  • CCRCs also offer the peace of mind that comes with knowing your future is secure. In addition to Independent Living, you have Assisted Living, Memory Care and Long-Term Skilled Nursing all in one location, allowing you to age in place should your health needs change.
  • Other benefits of CCRC living include social activities and opportunities to make new friends, on-site amenities like fitness centers and swimming pools and 24/7 security and much more.

Montereau is Tulsa’s premier retirement community, so we offer the above benefits plus our luxury-level services. We are a maintenance-free community, and we pride ourselves on our sense of service, giving you everything you need to enjoy a vibrant, worry-free retirement.

Discover the Independent Living Lifestyle

When it comes to finding independence and everyday peace of mind, the Montereau lifestyle is second to none. Choices, friendship and fun are just a few advantages you can expect with Independent Living at our community. You’ll have options when it comes to different home and floor plan selections—all of which come standard with high-end designer touches. Plus, Life Care Contracts that afford protection of your estate are available here too!

As a maintenance-free community, Montereau offers an excellent selection of amenities designed to make life easier and more enjoyable. Our fine dining options provide fresh feasts every day that taste as good as they look; our staff-to-resident ratio ensures each resident receives personalized attention; our licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants are available 24/7 in our Health Center; and our social events keep everyone connected. We also provide housekeeping services, transportation services, library access, outdoor walking trails, a full-service spa and day spa—just to name a few of the amenities you can look forward to!

Peace of Mind for Every Stage of Retirement

One of the biggest benefits of joining a CCRC is the peace of mind and lifelong security you  have in knowing you will be taken care of. This is a tremendous gift to your loved ones, because there is a plan in place for your future. If a day comes when you need the extra care of Assisted Living, Memory Care or Skilled Nursing, you can move through our continuum without having to leave the community you know and love.

We are proud to offer three unique Health Center neighborhoods—the Villa, the Chateau and the Abbey Memory Care—each designed to meet the needs of our residents. All three neighborhoods offer 24/7 access to a team of specially trained health care professionals who create customized assistance plans for each resident. This ensures that residents have as much independence as they want while still having the support they need.

The Abbey Memory Care neighborhood is specifically designed for those with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Every staff member at Montereau is trained in CARES® Dementia BasicsTM, which helps them understand the needs of those with cognitive decline. What’s more, all Abbey Care Partners are certified Dementia Care Specialists who use therapies and practices that give respect and dignity to our residents.

For those who require more support due to illness or injury, The Chateau skilled nursing facility provides personalized care from licensed and certified professionals in an environment that encourages healing and recovery. The Chateau is rated among the best in the nation for short-stay skilled nursing and rehabilitation services by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
