Williamsburg Landing

WI LL I AMSBURG LANDING explains, “They are great supporters of us and vice versa. We have a good relationship with the airport, and we are just good neighbors. We look out for one another, we support one another, their success is our success.” The airport offers an ideal situation for anyone who wants to fly in and take a tour of Williamsburg Landing, or as John Van Aken adds, “I have a new neighbor moving into one of the buildings that is just being built. He wants to learn to fly!” Williamsburg Landing is governed by an 18-member board of directors, including two residents who are voting members, something which is uncommon in the Life Plan space. “A lot of Life Plan Communities, or CCRCS’s have residents on their board, but they’re not voting members,” says Storer. “We have a diverse, excellent governance committee that strategically has a very strong matrix of the skill set. We are very proactive and progressive with recruiting and bringing the appropriate members onto our board.” Van Aken, who is a resident and voting member adds, “Beyond that, we have 12 committees that have 138 residents participating and interfacing with management on day-to-day operations. We have a lot of input, and the opportunity to decide how things are done here. So, as there is a tremendous amount of resident input, it also makes this a really good place to live.” Williamsburg Landing offers a variety of contract types to residents. The ability to easily adjust the level of service and care was another draw to the community for Van Aken, who explains that his three sons live in different states but are comforted to know he is taken care of in any circumstance. Not only can Williamsburg Landing take care of his present and future needs, but the community has also proven to be a huge support for him during a difficult time. He shares, “I had the unfortunate situation… one year after we moved here, my wife died suddenly. Here I was alone, my kids were far away, and this place just took charge.
