A Continuing Care Retirement Community, often referred to as a Life Plan Community, offers different levels of care for seniors to ensure residents receive the right amount of support as their healthcare needs change. According to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, residents who live in CCRCs are healthier, have fewer disease and disability risks and live longer than those who don’t live in similar settings. While limited research exists regarding what prompts these health benefits, many attribute it to a CCRCs more active approach toward healthcare. These communities offer various services and amenities to support overall wellness and quality of life. With more seniors prioritizing healthy aging, choosing CCRCs has become a growing trend. Falcons Landing, a Life Plan Community with Independent Living in Potomac Falls, Virginia, shares some key benefits of CCRCs and aging well.
Life Plan Communities provide personalized health services designed to meet your changing needs to ensure you receive the right level of care as you age. Services generally include on-site medical care, a continuum of care and preventative health programs. Falcons Landing offers comprehensive on-site health services tailored to your needs. The Johnson Center, West Falls Center and Hillside House is open to anyone, no military or government background is required.
The Johnson Center is an award-winning Skilled Nursing community for older adults needing 24-hour care, either short term or long term. It’s once again been recognized as one of the Best Nursing Homes for Short-Term Rehabilitation in the 2025 U.S. News & World Report. The Johnson Center has also received a Five Star High-Performance rating for short-term rehabilitation and long-term care by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services—the highest distinction from this organization.
