Financial Considerations

Financial considerations include an Entrance Fee and a Monthly Service Charge. Residents select one of three Entrance Fee Plans. Efficiency apartment residents who choose to pay a higher Monthly Service Charge do not pay an Entrance Fee.

Entrance Fee Plans

All Entrance Fee Plans are based on apartment size and the amount of refund the resident chooses to have refunded at the end of occupancy. Three Entrance Fee Plans are as follows:

Plan A – 0% refundable

Plan B – 50% refundable

Plan C – 90% refundable

Entrance Fees are paid 30 days prior to occupancy. If the resident vacates their apartment within the first six months of occupancy, Plans A, B and C are 100% (less a $500 refurbishing fee) refundable to the resident or their estate.

Monthly Service Charge

More than simple rent, the Monthly Service Charge covers the day-to-day cost of living in the Retirement Village. It is based on the size of apartment and the number of occupants. Services covered by the Monthly Service Charge include the following:

Apartment occupancy
All utilities except cable and telephone service
Bi-weekly housekeeping service
Apartment maintenance, upkeep and refuse removal
Buffet style dinner (one meal daily, served midday)
In-room tray service for short term illness
Social Service assistance and intervention
Emergency response assistance
Life enrichment activities and programs
Wellness checks: daily I’M OK system, monthly blood pressure monitoring.
24/7 on call staffing

Additional ala cart services are available.

Application Process

Individuals interested in living in the Retirement Village are encouraged to tour our home, meet with the manager to discuss issues and concerns, complete an application for residency, make a $500 deposit and secure a place on the waiting list. The $500 deposit is applied to the Entrance Fee or is refunded to the individual if their name is withdrawn from the Waiting List. Apartments are filled chronologically from the waiting list.
