How Seabrook Protects Your Future Good Health

“Why should I sell my house and move to Seabrook?” It’s a reasonable question, and one that elicits several answers, ranging from the economic benefits, to the maintenance-free lifestyle, to the opportunities that abound for a richer, fuller retirement.

But surely one of the most compelling reasons is the outstanding health care enjoyed by people who live at Seabrook. Health care that isn’t merely available at Seabrook—it’s ingrained in everything we do. It’s part of our fabric and one of the  main reasons our community exists in the first place.

Think About This . . .

As you compare the advantages of living at Seabrook with what you can expect from staying at your house, here’s an astounding fact to consider: According to an AARP study, an alarming one person in four—25 percent—will eventually need long-term nursing care. At Seabrook, we find those odds unacceptable!

That’s why we’ve put in place an environment designed to help you maintain your good health and live a fuller, more independent life.

Erickson HealthSM Makes the Difference

What makes Seabrook a healthier place to live? A unique, comprehensive health care program called Erickson HealthSM. As the nation’s largest integrated wellness and health network for people age 62-plus, it provides a health care safety net at Seabrook that cannot be matched by what is available at your house. In addition, Erickson HealthSM does a lot more than work to keep you healthy when  you first begin living at Seabrook—it’s designed to take care of you for life.

Imagine being surrounded with a wellness environment focused on keeping you healthy. We have a fully staffed Medical Center right on campus with board-certified physicians ready to take care of you. (Please note, you don’t have to give up your current physician when you move to Seabrook. However, most people do eventually join the Seabrook Medical Center simply because of the convenience.)

Our Fitness Center has state-of-the-art equipment and a certified fitness instructor to help you tune up your body and maintain your good health. In addition, you can do all this just a short walk from your apartment home at Seabrook.

Do you have anything comparable where you live now? Our Home Support team can help you with everything you need while  you rehabilitate from an injury, from walking your dog to helping you shop for groceries. And unlike most  other support services you would contract for in your house, our minimum charge is for just 15 minutes.

The Centricity Advantage

Seabrook has an advanced electronic medical records system (Centricity) that makes your medical information instantly available to our Medical Center doctors in emergencies. This is a huge advantage for you,  because it lets them quickly view your health history and medications right on their computer monitor.

That means a faster, more accurate diagnosis and a great tool to help guard against drug interactions.

It even alerts them to drug recalls that may affect you. You wouldn’t have that peace of mind if you were rushed to a hospital emergency room and treated by a doctor unfamiliar with your health history.

Help You Can Count On

Now this is really important: If something unexpected happens to  you—a health emergency of some kind—our 24 hours/ 7 days a week emergency response team can be at your side within minutes. They will contact the doctor on duty, who quickly accesses your medical records and coordinates your care with the emergency response team and hospital emergency room.

You cannot count on that kind of quick reaction if something happens to you in your house, where ambulance response time is dramatically longer. Quite simply, the outside resources you depend on now cannot match ours in providing such a wide array of professionals, resources, and programs designed to promote your wellness and assure your continued good health.

And remember, right on campus is Renaissance Gardens—a facility that’s available if you ever need assisted living or nursing care. The more you compare the health care that’s available at your house and what is offered at Seabrook, the more unfair the comparison becomes—Seabrook wins hands down!

For your best health care, take advantage of the wellness environment at Seabrook. Call now at 1-800-335-4725 for your free Information Kit or to discuss with Retirement Counselor Ruth Phillips how you can benefit. Call now!
