About Life Plan Communities

A resident‑first model that supports aging in place with confidence.

Life Plan communities offer a comprehensive senior living model that combines independent living with access to assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing on a single campus. Residents typically move in while still active and independent, with confidence that future care needs can be met without leaving the community.

This model is designed for longevity and peace of mind. Entrance fees are predominantly nonrefundable and typically represent approximately 52 percent of local median home values in Janus Living markets, creating financial stability for both residents and operators. Longer lengths of stay, lower turnover, and a built-in care continuum create stability for residents and families while supporting consistent performance over time.

Strong operator partnerships play a key role in performance. Janus Living’s Life Plan communities are operated by trusted leaders such as LCS and Sunrise Senior Living, whose long-tenured teams support consistent occupancy, resident experience, and long-term margin improvement.
