Choosing the right retirement living option can feel overwhelming, especially when planning for both current and future needs. At Immanuel, we’ve designed a solution that brings clarity and peace of mind: our continuum of care. This connected system of services ensures that as health needs change, aging adults can transition smoothly within a trusted organization.
What is a continuum of care?
Immanuel’s continuum of care is similar to a continuing care retirement community (CCRC), offering multiple levels of support under one umbrella. This means residents can start in independent living and, if needed, move to assisted living, memory support, or skilled nursing and long-term care; all while staying connected to the Immanuel family.
Not every Immanuel community offers every level of care, but residents enjoy priority access to other Immanuel communities when needs evolve. For example, someone who begins their retirement journey in independent living can transition to assisted living within their current community or move to another Immanuel location with availability. This flexibility reduces stress and ensures continuity of care.
Why it matters
Health needs can change quickly. Without a plan, families often face rushed decisions during stressful times. Immanuel’s continuum of care provides reassurance that support is available when it’s needed most. From vibrant independent living to specialized memory care and advanced nursing services, our approach prioritizes dignity, safety, and well-being at every stage.
Service levels at a glance
- Independent living – Maintenance-free homes, social activities, and wellness programs for active adults.
- Assisted living – Personalized support for daily tasks while maintaining independence.
- Memory support – Secure environments and cognitive engagement programs for individuals with Alzheimer’s or dementia.
- Skilled nursing & long-term care – 24/7 medical care and rehabilitation for complex health needs.
Each level is designed to meet unique needs, ensuring residents and participants receive the right care at the right time.

Planning ahead is key to confident decisions. That’s why we created A Guide to Immanuel’s Continuum of Care, a free resource that explains each service level, outlines priority access benefits, and offers tips for future planning.
