Life Plan Communities & Entrance Fee Options
How Life Plan Communities Are Paid For
Life Plan Communities offer a long term approach to senior living by combining Independent Living with access to future care options in the same community. This model is designed for individuals who want to plan ahead with greater confidence and financial predictability.
Most Life Plan Communities use a combination of an entrance fee and a monthly fee. Together, these support current living needs and help provide access to Assisted Living, Memory Care, Skilled Nursing or Long term Care in the future if needs change.
Understanding Entrance Fees
Entrance fees vary by community, residence type and contract structure. These fees often support:
- Long term planning and stability
- Access to a continuum of care
- Reduced uncertainty during future transitions
Some Life Plan contracts may include refundable or partially refundable options if a resident leaves the community or passes away, depending on the agreement.
