Westminster Canterbury of the Blue Ridge

What is independent living? At Westminster-Canterbury of the Blue Ridge, that’s something you define. The lifestyle is self-directed – a construct you create from whatever your heart is asking for. We simply provide the setting, along with choices and opportunities. These include chef-supervised dining, first-class wellness programming and total support from a continuum of care. You and your loved ones have the reassurance of knowing you’ve chosen opulent hospitality, a life-enriching environment and meaningful connections as the constants to a fulfilling lifestyle.

An advantage of residency at Westminster-Canterbury of the Blue Ridge is that you’ll never have to search for high-quality assisted living in Charlottesville or Albemarle County. Catered living services here at the community are always available and included in your Lifecare agreement.

Catered living offers a range of support services customized to individual needs. We all want to be completely independent for as long as possible, but when physical abilities begin to diminish, it’s natural to need a helping hand now and then. Catered living provides this help in a way that’s personal, one-on-one, and that allows people to feel comfortable, secure and independent.

Westminster-Canterbury of the Blue Ridge is the only community in Central Virginia to offer the Lifecare option. What is Lifecare? It’s the security of knowing that as you age in our community, a full continuum of care is here for you right where you live — assisted living, memory care, long-term skilled nursing care and rehabilitation therapies. You’ll also know that your monthly expenses will not increase significantly from independent living through the various levels of care.

The thing to remember is that without the Lifecare agreement your out-of-pocket costs for any level of care will most certainly be higher than they would be with Lifecare. That’s because you’ll be paying market rates for those services, which are constantly rising. Lifecare provides long- and short-term care at a discount from what you pay in the open market.

At Westminster-Canterbury of the Blue Ridge, the Lifecare agreement ensures you’ll receive any level of care you need, for as long as you need it, for essentially what you’re paying for your residence in independent living. Your expenses will be more predictable. Planning will be simpler and more precise. You won’t need to leave home to find the care you need. And you may well find yourself in a more favorable tax position.
