also covers a change in residence to a personal care or a skilled nursing facility, should a member make the decision to move—even if the facility is out of the area. ✜✜Family members can benefit, too. Pathstones relieves your children, spouse, or other family members from the responsibilities of caregiving and coordination. Members receive the services and advocacy of a Wellness Coordinator—your own personal healthcare assistant who is available locally around the clock. ✜✜With Pathstones, you can budget and enjoy your retirement because you will know what your future health care costs will be—and plan to leave an inheritance. Like a traditional
Continuing Care Retirement Community, Pathstones members pay a one-time membership fee and predictable and manageable monthly fees that will not increase when additional services are required, no matter how long you need those services. ✜✜Pathstones offers wellness programs and special member events. Members enjoy social events such as trips to museums, performances, and spectator sports. Educational events and activities centered on members’ hobbies, such as gardening and bird watching, are also included with membership.
Pathstones by Phoebe serves members in Lehigh, Berks, Northampton, and Upper Bucks counties. To learn more, we invite you to attend an educational seminar, call 610-794-6700, or visit pathstonesbyphoebe.org.
