With the Platinum Membership Program expected to reach capacity in November, Moorings Park® recently announced it is making the new Diamond Membership Program available to individuals and couples who are in the early stages of finalizing their retirement plans. The Diamond Membership provides many, but not all, of the Platinum Membership’s benefits. Diamond members may upgrade to a Platinum Membership level that will guarantee their future residency at Moorings Park. The Platinum Membership is ideally suited to individuals and couples who are within one to two years of making their residency decision. Both the Platinum and Diamond Membership Programs are available for a one-time membership fee plus an affordable monthly charge. The membership fees can be applied to residency entrance fees at Moorings Park or at the Moorings Park at Grey Oaks campus once the decision to move into Moorings Park is made. The Diamond Membership fee amortizes over 60 months beginning on the date of the contract. The entire amount may be applied toward a Platinum Membership upgrade at any time prior to the complete amortization of the fee.
Foremost among the Diamond Membership’s array of benefits is access to the wellness services at Moorings Park’s Center for Healthy Living, a state-of-the-art center offering resident and member-focused physician based services that improve healthcare delivery, expand users' knowledge of the aging process, and introduce new approaches to wellness that celebrate the positive aspects of aging while optimizing vitality and happiness. The Center offers personalized physician services, integrated rehabilitation programs, and licensed professional staff specializing in geriatrics. On-site, primary care physician services are provided to members through Moorings Park's Premier Senior Health Care Program that offers personalized healthcare based on a model akin to a traditional family practice. Patients can expect care that emphasizes accessibility, personal attention, and compassion. The Premier Senior Health Care Program is available to Diamond members with no additional charges, other than typical co-pays. Third- party billing to Medicare will occur for services when appropriate.
The Center for Healthy Living’s features include cardio and strength programming geared toward seniors, as well as cognitive and memory training. Licensed physical, occupational and speech therapists establish customized treatment plans with patients and their physicians to meet specific needs. The Center is home to the state-of-the-art Sheffield Theatre that is suitable for feature films and lectures, the full-service Rejuvenate Salon and Spa, and a Max-Wellness retail store with products ranging from natural vitamins and supplements to fitness items and mobility devices. The Center for Healthy Living’s Internet Café offers an opportunity to socialize with friends over healthy fare and beverages. The Center’s amenities are designed to integrate technology, relaxation, and luxury so residents can comfortably manage all facets of wellness. Additional charges will apply for all meals, spa treatment services, personal trainers, and purchases in the Max-Wellness retail store.
The Diamond Membership Program rewards members with preferred access over non-residents to Moorings Park's Orchid Terrace Assisted Living and Memory Care Center and to The Chateau® Skilled Nursing Facility on a private rate basis. Orchid Terrace provides members 24- hour assistance with the activities of daily living, as well as memory care. The Chateau at Moorings Park, accorded both 5-Star and Gold Seal ratings, is a Medicare certified facility providing short-term rehabilitation, outpatient rehab, and long-term care.
Other benefits of a Diamond Membership include access to the Bower Chapel’s worship services and concert series subject to availability; clubhouse privileges, including all lectures and special social events; and dining privileges in the clubhouse main dining room, grill room, and the upscale Trio Restaurant subject to availability. A members-only Diamond Personal Charge Card entitles cardholders to charge for meals and retail purchases.
Graduating to a Platinum Memberships provides prioritized access to all available Moorings Park residences and to Orchid Terrace and to The Chateau on a private rate basis. Upon approval, Platinum Members will receive 24-Month Moorings Assessment Protocol (MAP) protection. All residents of Moorings Park are required to undergo an assessment which qualifies them for Independent Living. Platinum Members may choose to undergo this assessment and defer admission to Moorings Park for up to 24 months from the date of the assessment while protecting the opportunity to secure a residence.
In addition to the benefits afforded through the Premier Senior Health Care Program, integrated rehabilitation programs, and licensed professional staff specializing in geriatrics at The Center for Healthy Living, a comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) is provided to Platinum members. The thorough evaluation encompasses medical, psychological and functional capabilities. The CGA evaluates risk factors for functional decline and provides a plan to optimize functional well-being while putting together processes to facilitate achieving the goals outlined in the plan and to promote an independent lifestyle.
Additional services available to Platinum members at the Center for Healthy Living include a complimentary monthly spa treatment at the Rejuvenate Salon and Spa that features hair styling, facials, manicures and pedicures, massages and aromatherapy; a complimentary monthly personal training session tailored to meet individual fitness needs; outpatient rehabilitation services; and access to the Center for Healthy Living's Sheffield Theatre, special events, and internet cafe. Platinum members are also provided access to events at the Bower Chapel and may enjoy two complimentary dinners per month at one of Moorings Park's five casual and fine dining venues, including the Trio Restaurant and its waterfront verandah. Meal credits can be rolled over one month at a time. A Platinum Personal Charge Card entitles cardholders to charge meals at the dining facilities and to access additional services at the Center for Healthy Living. A Personal Concierge is available to members Monday through Friday between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. to secure dinner reservations, tickets, salon appointments, transportation, personal trainer appointments and more.
