Ascension Living’s Live at Home, a membership program designed to be a retirement community without walls, turns 20 this spring. The program was conceived by Alexian Brothers of the Southeast, one of the historic sponsors of Ascension. Live at Home was an entirely new concept of retirement living when it was introduced in the spring of 2002 to the Chattanooga, Tennessee, market. The Alexian Brothers adapted the continuing care model offered in a continuing care retirement community and repackaged services to deliver them to people at home. Twenty years later, Ascension Living’s Live at Home program has helped more than 300 people age successfully in their homes for as long as possible.

Today, Live at Home provides support as needed throughout each member’s lifetime for an initial enrollment fee and a monthly membership fee. Members benefit from wellness support, at-home assistance and round-the-clock care when needed. In honor of our anniversary, provided below are 20 benefits to joining our program:
