You do not need to have lived in Independent Living before moving into Assisted Living or another level of care.

Yes. One of the benefits of a Life Plan Community is that couples can continue living in the same community even if their individual care needs change at different times. At Gulf Coast Village, one spouse may experience independent living while the other receives memory support in assisted living or another level of care – all while remaining close to one another.

Yes. Guided by Christian principles, Gulf Coast Village welcomes people of all faiths, backgrounds, and beliefs. Residents can choose to participate in chapel services, Bible studies, spiritual discussion groups, or simply enjoy quiet moments of reflection – all are welcome.
