WHAT are life plan and continuing care retirement communities?

A Life Plan Community, also known as a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC), offers independent living as well as multiple levels of care and support. Life Plan Communities are often integrated with the larger community in their regions and embody a culture that prioritizes giving back and social responsibility. All of these attributes hold true for The Village at Providence Point.

As a Life Plan Community, The Village at Providence Point will offer an active, maintenance-free lifestyle with independent living apartment and cottage residences as well as memory care and skilled nursing services to support older adults’ ability to age with choice and independence. One of the attributes many older adults find appealing about The Village at Providence Point is our community culture which will prioritize holistic wellness, strong integration with the Annapolis community and unlimited opportunities for resident engagement in pursuits that make each day meaningful.

WHAT MAKES THE VILLAGE AT PROVIDENCE POINT UNIQUE?

The Village at Providence Point is a community where older adults can dream, explore and discover life in all of its possibilities. The community will be located in the thriving and historic city of Annapolis, where shops, restaurants and more provide unlimited opportunities for fun and recreation. Our community is planned with an active lifestyle in mind with multiple dining venues, a state-of-the-art wellness center, creative spaces, transportation for community outings and all the amenities and conveniences you’d expect in a retirement community. Providence Point will also have an on-site health center offering extended levels of care you or your loved one may need throughout your retirement journey. Plus, The Village at Providence Point will offer a picturesque and tree-lined property where nature is an integral part of the resident experience and seamlessly integrates with the design of the community’s built environment.

WHAT IS YOUR ConnectedLiving WELLNESS PROGRAM?

National Lutheran Communities & Services’ (NLCS’) ConnectedLiving philosophy is the foundation for all aspects of programming, engagement and support The Village at Providence Point will offer. We want to provide residents a lifestyle beyond dining and social life. We intentionally build programming so everyone in the community—residents, visitors and team members—can thrive in body, mind and spirit no matter where they are in their retirement journey. From on-site activities to lifelong learning opportunities, we seek to provide an environment that makes each day meaningful and fosters holistic wellbeing through continual growth among seven dimensions of wellness that are integral to successful aging. These dimensions of wellness include:

• Intellectual and lifelong learning
  
• Physical fitness and wellness
  
• Social engagement
  
• Spiritual enrichment
  
• Emotional wellbeing
  
• Environmental awareness
  
• Vocational connectivity
  

Drawing on these dimensions of wellness, The Village at Providence Point’s ConnectedLiving team will work in partnership with residents to provide a wide range of wellness programming and engagement opportunities tailored to residents’ unique interests and capabilities.

WHAT LIVING OPTIONS DO YOU OFFER?

In independent living, we will offer one- and two-bedroom apartments (881 to 1,825 square feet) and two-bedroom cottages (1,600 to 2,100 square feet) with elegant floor plans and custom features. In our skilled nursing neighborhood, we will offer private health care suites, short-term rehabilitation and long-term care.

WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR AMENITIES?

WHEN WILL THE COMMUNITY BE READY?

The Village at Providence Point has all necessary approvals from the Maryland Department of Aging as well as the City of Annapolis. We are currently awaiting the Maryland Appellate Court’s decision on an appeal filed by a local conservation group. While we await the court’s decision, we continue to move forward with project planning. We are taking reservations on available homes, and once groundbreaking occurs, a 28-month construction period is expected.

What green initiatives are planned for the community

The Village at Providence Point has been praised by community leaders and environmental advocates as a model of environmentally sustainable development.

• Of the 175-acre site, only 35 acres are planned for development. Approximately 124 acres will be preserved in perpetuity through conservation and onsite reforestation, retaining as many specimen trees as possible.
  
• The development’s stormwater management plans include stream remediation and restoration, 62,000 square feet of green roofs, 79 rain gardens (equating to 1.2 acres in total) and 15,300 square feet of porous pavement driveways that will reduce water runoff.
  
• Dual electric vehicle (EV) charging stations will be installed to allow charging at designated parking spaces and a portion of total parking will be allocated for green vehicles.
  
• The community will use energy efficient technologies such as Combined Heat and Power systems to produce heat for hot water and excess building heat, energy efficient ballasts, LED lighting and Energy Star appliances.
  
• Community operations will incorporate recycling methods to reduce waste and the community’s carbon footprint, and only materials such as carpets and cleaning solutions that are low in volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions will be selected for use.
