Equally important is Village on the Isle’s continuum of
care structure. “There are a lot of different senior liv-
ing options available, but in this local market, there’s
not a senior living community that has a full continu-
um of services like we have,” Anderson relates. “If you
go to another community that doesn’t have a full con-
tinuum, you may have to move. And people don’t want
to move during a time of need or with a health crisis
going on. So a full continuum really matters.”
Finally, Anderson suggests that the perception of the
modern CCRC continues to evolve and that residents
now have an expectation that these types of retirement
communities should have the look and feel more like a
country club or resort rather than a place where retir-
ees go when they get old and sick. “We are not health-
care facilities,” he avers. “We’re very hospitality-orient-
ed, residential communities with an underpinning of
healthcare that gives our customers peace of mind to
access quality healthcare when there’s a need. So, it’s
a very hospitality-driven industry, overall.”
Anderson believes that the services, amenities, and
loving care provided by its medical practitioners and
support staff, many of whom come from the local com-
munity, places Village on the Isle on the top of the list
of area retirement communities. “I’ve never heard in
my years of serving this industry a resident ever say
they wish they would have waited a little while longer
before moving in,” he says proudly. “All of them end up
saying ‘I wish I would have made the decision to come
here, sooner.’”
Village on the Isle – An Island Jewel and a Retirement
Treasure.”
