What does it cost to become part of the community?
Residents pay a one-time entrance fee based upon the size of your residence and the refund plan that is chosen. Should you decide to leave the community, the refund that is due to you or your family will be returned. A monthly service fee will be determined based upon the size of the residence and the number of occupants. It covers one meal a day, all utilities except phone/internet, bi-weekly housekeeping, security, interior and exterior maintenance, complimentary scheduled transportation, social, recreational and wellness programs.
Will the monthly service fees go up?
Yes, it is reasonable to expect annual increases in the monthly service fee to offset increases in the cost of utilities, staff salaries, and operating expenses. Historically, the average increase is between three to five percent.
