What is Stoneridge Creek Pleasanton? [top]
Stoneridge Creek is a community for people over 62, which contains three defining elements. First, it is a place to live that encourages wellness through continuing mental and physical stimulation, and the companionship of close friends. Second, it provides a bundle of services, activities, and special amenities, including fine dining, which enhance independent living. Third, it provides every resident unlimited access to the skilled nursing, assisted living, and memory support facilities with virtually no increase in the monthly fee. So, you’re secure in the knowledge that you’re covered for short or long-term care needs. This type of community is called a “continuing care retirement community” (CCRC) by the State of California, but we think of it as a Continuing Life™ community.
What are the advantages of a CCRC or Continuing Life™ Community? [top]
Stoneridge Creek residents will be relieved from the responsibilities of home ownership, worries of the high cost of long-term care, fear of becoming a burden to their relatives, and concerns about growing old among strangers. Continuing Life™ at Stoneridge Creek combines real security and peace of mind with a truly independent lifestyle.
Is Stoneridge Creek a retirement community? [top]
Stoneridge Creek is not just a retirement community; rather it is a comprehensive retirement program. Think of it as a master-planned neighborhood for people who happen to be 62 and over that provides beautiful homes, helpful services and, if needed, long-term care. The combination of which lead to freedom, security, and peace of mind.
What are the living arrangements like? [top]
Residents will be able to choose from over 10 unique floor plans to meet each individual’s requirements for comfort, space and privacy. Homes range from one, two and three bedroom apartments to two and three bedroom villas (single family homes with attached garages). All homes come complete with full kitchen and laundry amenities.
How about personal security? [top]
Care has been taken to support a safe, secure environment. The community will be gate-guarded with 24-hour security. Public areas and pathways will be well lighted. Safety features such as smoke detectors, fire alarms and sprinklers will be standard in every building and residence.
What if an emergency occurs in my home? [top]
An emergency call system will be provided in all bedrooms and bathrooms. Connected to Stoneridge Creek’s central security office, the emergency call system will be set up for quick response to any critical situation 24 hours a day. Response from trained personnel will be only minutes away.
You mentioned a health care facility? [top]
Yes, the Health Care Center will include a skilled nursing center and an assisted living complex. Should the need arise, each Stoneridge Creek resident will be entitled to the supervised care of the professional nursing staff. If your physician feels it necessary, you may stay at the adjacent Health Care Center with virtually no increase in your monthly fee. When you are well, you can move back to your residence.
Under what circumstances might I stay at the Health Care Center? [top]
It could be something as temporary as checking in for a day or two to recover from an illness—or needing time to recuperate after a hospital stay—or longer-term nursing care, for any reason, even Alzheimer’s care. Since the Health Care Center is so close, your spouse, friends and relatives can easily visit you.
What happens to my residence during an extended stay at the Health Care Center? [top]
If you’re married, your spouse occupies your residence. Otherwise, your residence will remain as you left it until you return. (Certain conditions apply.)
Will I still need my health insurance? [top]
Yes, your Stoneridge Creek contract will round out, rather than replace, your current health care program. For your protection, Stoneridge Creek residents are required to have Medicare Parts A & B, and supplemental coverage (or an equivalent). Most HMOs are also acceptable.
