The True Value of a Life Care Services (LCS) Community

Choosing a senior living community is a significant decision, one that impacts not only your lifestyle but also your future security and well-being. 

At StoneRidge, we’re proud to be part of Life Care Services (LCS), a trusted leader in senior living. But what does that really mean for residents and their families? Let’s explore the benefits of living at an LCS community and dispel some common misconceptions along the way. 

Understanding Life Care Services and Life Plan Communities

LCS is one of the nation’s largest and most respected senior living management companies, with more than 50 years of experience. As a Life Plan Community, StoneRidge offers independent living, assisted living, assistance-in-living, memory care, skilled nursing, rehabilitation, respite care, and hospice care – all within one campus. This means that as your needs change, you have access to higher levels of care without having to leave the community you call home.

Debunking Misconceptions: Nonprofit vs. For-Profit Senior Living

One common myth is that nonprofit communities offer more security or better services than for-profit ones. In reality, financial stability and expert management are what truly determine a community’s long-term success. LCS has a proven track record of financial strength and operational excellence in both nonprofit and for-profit senior living communities, ensuring residents receive high-quality care and services now and in the future.

LCS: More Than Just a Management Company

Unlike some senior living communities that are simply managed by a third party, StoneRidge benefits from LCS’s dual role as both owner and partner. This means we receive strategic support, innovative programming, and the backing of an organization dedicated to enhancing senior living nationwide.

For residents, this translates to:

• Long-term stability – LCS’s financial strength ensures the continued growth and sustainability of our community.
• Quality assurance – Through consistent oversight and industry-leading standards, LCS helps StoneRidge maintain excellence in care and services.
• Innovative programs – LCS brings specialized initiatives designed to enhance wellness, safety, and engagement for residents.

LCS Signature Programs: Elevating the Resident Experience

Living at StoneRidge means benefiting from LCS’s Signature Programs, which are tailored to improve every aspect of community life, including:

• Extraordinary Impressions® fosters a culture of hospitality, where every resident is valued and experiences exceptional service every day.
• Health & Wellness Navigation Program™ ensures that residents have access to the right resources and guidance to maintain their health and independence.
• Heartfelt Connections – A Memory Care Program® provides personalized support for residents with dementia, focusing on their unique abilities and preferences.

A Commitment to Excellence: J.D. Power Recognition

One of the first things you’ll see when you enter an LCS community is the showcase of our recognition from the highly respected J.D. Power. LCS has consistently been recognized by J.D. Power for excellence in customer satisfaction among senior living communities. This recognition reflects LCS’s unwavering dedication to resident well-being, outstanding service, and high-quality care standards. 

StoneRidge has also been recognized for excellence by Newsweek and U.S. News & World Report.

This commitment to excellence is echoed in the voices of our residents. Community members share what they love most about life here—from the welcoming atmosphere to the enriching activities—highlighting the joy, comfort, and connection that make StoneRidge truly feel like home.

Financial Strength and Stability

Another key advantage of living at an LCS community is financial security. LCS communities are backed by a strong financial foundation, ensuring resources are in place for community enhancements, ongoing maintenance, amenity improvements, and the highest level of service. This stability provides peace of mind for residents and their families, knowing their investment in senior living is protected.
