We all want to age in place with retirement living at home. Not everyone knows they can do it. But it requires a plan. None of us plan on getting sick and needing care, because we don’t think it will happen to us. In truth, for people over the age of 65, 70% will need some sort of long-term care. That’s a lot of people potentially left unprepared. But not you, because you are here learning about your retirement living at home options with Confident Living.
Retirement Living at Home with Confident Living
What is Confident Living?
Put simply, Confident Living is a Continuing Care at Home (CCAH) program. Sometimes called a Continuing Care Retirement Community Without Walls, CCAH programs are a great way to age in your own home because the care offered mirrors the care of a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC). A few things Confident Living has to offer are:
- Financial Planning – A system to set aside money for future care. That care may be in your own home or on campus. Oftentimes you can plan for both. This helps you preserve your savings when it comes to paying for long-term care.
- Care Coordination – Support from an experienced healthcare professional that you can call 24/7 for all of your health and wellness needs. Their job is to help you navigate the healthcare system to get the services you need when you need them.
- Health and Wellness – A personal advocate who will help keep you healthy and happy so you can maintain an independent lifestyle in your own home.
Membership costs will depend on the package of services selected.
What is a Care Coordinator?
A Care Coordinator is a healthcare professional who knows your entire health history and works with you to develop a custom care plan. As a result, they know which hospitals and doctors you like best. So when you need care or help understanding lab results, they are there for you.

How to Age Better with the Confident Living Program
Have Your Plan in Place
Having a plan is half the battle of aging well. Not only does this relieve stress, which is all kinds of good for you, but it actually ensures you will be able to receive the care you need. Planning ahead is the best form of preventative care.
Staying Independent as You Age
Everyone wants to stay independent as long as possible. And with Confident Living, you can. This allows you to live in your own home and keep life as pleasant as it has always been. Not only is this less stressful than moving to a CCRC, but it gives you the stability you crave in the place you like the most.
Having Someone to Call
Whether it’s to review test results or getting help with appointments, having someone to call is key to aging well. And with Confident Living, your Care Coordinator is only ever a phone call away.
