Life Planning Your Retirement in a Life Plan Community like Lake Forest Place

How do I choose a senior living community now, if I don’t know what kind of care I’ll need 10 years from now? Lake Forest Place, a Presbyterian Homes community, was created with this question in mind. John Janco and Mary Ann Doyle from Lake Forest Place join Claudia to discuss what, exactly, a Life Plan Community is, and how Lake Forest Place gives prospective residents a way to experience the community before they move in.Learn more about CMFTO on our website, Instagram, Facebook or LinkedIn.John Janco, Senior Director of Sales and Marketing at Lake Forest Place, started his career at Palmer House Hilton in 1985.
