Here, you’ve got a great lifestyle today with a smart plan for the future.
A growing body of research highlights the benefits of community living on our cognitive, emotional, and physical health, while also showing the risks of social isolation. In 2017, the Mather Institute and Northwestern University launched a 5-year study of 8,000 seniors to quantify the impact of Life Plan communities. Key findings included:
- Residents consistently reported better physical, emotional, intellectual, social, and vocational wellness than their peers.
- Plus, their social contact and intellectual engagement was significantly increased compared to their non-Life Plan peers.
Here are recent comments from several residents of Westminster Woods at Julington Creek who weighed in on the lifestyle they enjoy at the Life Plan community.

We chose this retirement community for its more relaxed atmosphere compared to some of the others we looked at. The location is excellent with close proximity to Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and the beaches. The grounds are aesthetically pleasing and Julington Creek makes for a second-to-none setting. – Steve Ray
