Planning for retirement means more than just choosing a beautiful place to live — it’s about securing a future of stability, connection, and confidence. At Marquette, an award-winning senior living community in Indianapolis, our Life Plan model provides the foundation for just that: a vibrant lifestyle today with the reassurance of advanced care tomorrow.
As a Life Plan Community, Marquette combines independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and rehabilitation under one roof — making it easier to age in place with fewer disruptions. This forward-thinking approach provides not only convenience and continuity of care but also financial predictability and long-term savings.
What Is a Life Plan Community?
A Life Plan Community (sometimes referred to as a Continuing Care Retirement Community or C.C.R.C.) allows residents to enjoy independent living today with priority access to higher levels of care in the future. This includes assisted living options for seniors, memory care, and skilled nursing services — all within the same community.
Marquette’s Life Plan model includes:
- A one-time entrance fee based on your selected residence
- A predictable monthly service fee that covers housing, amenities, dining, and healthcare services
Together, these costs create a simplified and secure path to managing your retirement lifestyle and healthcare needs — protecting you from the unpredictability of rising long-term care expenses.
