Most people want to remain independent and continue living in the home they love as they grow older. But planning ahead can become more important when daily needs change or additional care is needed.
LifeChoices at Bethany invites you to a Lunch & Learn in Ankeny on October 13. This informational event is an opportunity to learn more about Life Care at Home, ask questions, and explore options for maintaining independence while planning for future care.
What is LifeChoices at Bethany?
LifeChoices at Bethany is a membership program designed to help older adults remain
independent and stay in their own homes for as long as possible. Support can begin while members are still living independently and can adjust as their needs change over time.
The program includes wellness education and coaching, access to home- and community-based services, and support from a dedicated Advocate. The advocate is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year in case of emergency. The advocate acts as your one stop shop helping you navigate questions, resources, and changing care needs.
Planning for the future also means understanding the potential cost of care. LifeChoices at Bethany says its program will cover nursing home costs up to 100% from day one. Attending the Lunch & Learn gives you an opportunity to ask questions about membership, benefits, services, and how the program works.
