Life Plan Community Near Miami
LifeCare replaces worry with security.
There are many retirement communities and senior care options in the Miami area. But in Cutler Bay, only one offers the unmatched security and remarkable hospitality of LifeCare—East Ridge, a Life Plan Community near Miami. Maybe it’s time to make your move to ease and peace of mind.

What is a Life Plan Community?
A Life Plan Community (also known as a Continuing Care Retirement Community or CCRC) is a senior living community that offers a full continuum of care—including independent living, assisted living, memory support, and skilled nursing. The benefits of a Life Plan Community are many, but the most significant is the freedom to enjoy an active, maintenance-free lifestyle while having peace of mind knowing that future care needs will be met without the need to relocate.
What is LifeCare?
LifeCare is a senior living contract that provides lifelong access to a full continuum of care—including independent living, assisted living, memory support, and skilled nursing—for a predictable and stable cost. It offers financial security, peace of mind, and guaranteed care within the same community, even if health needs change over time.
While there are several types of contracts, at East Ridge, we offer a Type A LifeCare contract, providing residents with predictable, all-inclusive pricing for future care needs.
With this contract, you pay a one-time entrance fee (based on the residence you choose and the number of people living there) and a monthly service fee, which covers your residence, services, and access to a full continuum of care at little to no increase in cost compared to independent living rates.
If you ever need assisted living, memory support, skilled nursing or rehabilitation, you’ll receive that care right here at Three Palms Health Center, at predictable costs.
Security without worry: That’s LifeCare.
