Landis Communities Announcements
Landis Communities is committed to offering many options, because retirement does not follow a one-size-fits-all mentality. Envisioning the goals that are most important and unique to you is essential for planning. Please consider attending this seminar to learn ways persons age 40-85 can plan for future care—as well as the key differences in a long-term care plan that members experience with a Continuing Care at Home membership.
