The Erickson Difference is what makes living at an Erickson Retirement community a unique way to make the most of your retirement

Erickson full-service retirement communities are in a class by themselves

A change in philosophy that’s changing retirement living

What makes Erickson full-service retirement communities different from other retirement options?

A better lifestyle choice

Active 55's often provide country club amenities, but few or no specialized health services. Traditional Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRC) are designed to move you from independent to assisted living to long-term acute care as your health deteriorates.

Erickson’s unique brand of full-service retirement living combines a maintenance-free lifestyle with convenient, on-site amenities and stimulating social opportunities that improve both physical and mental health. Everything is designed to help you avoid expensive hospital and nursing home stays. Yet a continuum of higher levels of care is available on-site should you ever need them.

Stimulating social opportunities

As an Erickson campus grows, literally hundreds of different clubs form around the various interests of our community members, each meeting regularly in connected clubhouses with on-site art studios, card and game rooms, wood shops, indoor pools, and more.

With neighbors who share your interests close at hand, the support of a full-time staff, and a host of specialized facilities, you’ll find daily opportunities to enjoy your favorite pastimes and build lasting relationships.

Integrated health and wellness services 

Nationally recognized physician-led wellness programs are integrated into every aspect of life at Erickson retirement communities to keep you active, independent, and feeling your best.

Climate-controlled walkways from your spacious apartment home connect you to a host of stimulating social opportunities, an indoor pool and Fitness Center that make it easy to get your exercise, and on-site restaurants with deliciously healthy dining options.

The board certified physicians in our on-site Medical Centers are experts at directing and coordinating specialized care for the multiple chronic conditions most retirees must manage, and these physicians spend twice the average time on each appointment to help you prevent problems. Also, our electronic medical information system not only reduces dangerous medical errors, it connects you to our national network of 1,200 elite practitioners.

No other retirement lifestyle does more to help you maintain your independence.
