Frequently Asked Questions

Avenues, by Brio Living Services, is a unique membership-based program for individuals who are currently healthy and independent. Avenues is for people who are planning ahead and want to age in the comfort of their homes. We are a non-profit organization and have been serving the Grand Rapids area since 2011.

Avenues is for individuals aged 55 and above, in reasonably good health, and currently living independently.

To join Avenues, you pay a one-time initial entrance fee that is based on your age and then an affordable monthly service fee throughout your membership in the program.

Unlike most long-term care insurance plans, Avenues offers a lifetime of care coverage no matter what the future holds. As an Avenues member, you have access to high quality care in the comfort of your home. Our clinical professionals wrap around you throughout your aging journey, providing care management, proactive health opportunities, and coordinating in-home care.

Studies show that 92% of adults want to age at home. If your goal is to age at home, you likely recognize the support, care, coordination, and services it takes to age at home successfully. Avenues allows you to age at home safely and successfully by providing you a lifetime of care and support. Avenues helps you avoid having to rely on your children or your family to be your caregivers, all while providing you with financial peace of mind, knowing you have a lifetime of care coverage.

Our members do not join with the expectation of eventually moving to long-term care. They join because they want to maintain independence, prioritize health, and age at home.
