Justus EXPLANATION PC 051711 Respectfully su mitted, Shinaver i on C. Dobosiewicz Woodland Terrace Description of Community and Services Continuing Care Retirement Community Woodland Terrace is a retirement community where a number of aging care needs, from assisted living, independent living and skilled nursing care will be provided within a single environment. Typically, residents move in while still living independently, with few health risks or healthcare needs, and as medical needs change, the level of skilled nursing care and service increases proportionally in response. The needs of residents are consistently monitored and are thereby provided wellness options, particularly as those needs become more intensive. They are primarily regarded as residents and only secondarily as consumers of healthcare. The philosophy is premised upon concept that persons with age related changes have the same rights to participation, to the same range of options, degree of freedom, control and self determination in every day life as others may have. At the May 4 Subdivision Committee meeting, Justus provided to the Committee an explanation regarding the three (3) levels of care that would be offered and how those levels of care met and satisfied the definition in Carmel's Zoning Ordinance of a Continuing Care Retirement Community. While the explanation to the Subdivision Committee regarding the Independent Living and Assisted Living components seemed self explanatory, the explanation that follows is intended to provide more detail regarding the Skilled Nursing component that will be provided within the facility.
