Good to know
Questions, answered
What is a life plan community?
A campus with independent living plus assisted living, memory care and skilled nursing, so residents can stay as their needs change. Residents have priority for every level of care.
What contracts do you offer?
A life care contract, with an entrance fee and monthly fees that stay steadier as your needs change, and a fee-for-service contract with a lower entrance fee.
Is the entrance fee refundable?
Depending on the plan you choose, part of the entrance fee may be refundable to you or your estate. Your agreement spells out how much and when.
Does Medicare pay for any of this?
Medicare doesn't cover independent living, assisted living or long-term custodial care. Original Medicare Part A can cover short-term skilled nursing and rehab after a qualifying inpatient hospital stay.
Are the concerts open to family?
Yes. Families are welcome at every Salon concert and the Friday supper club. Reserve with the concierge.
Friday, seven o'clock. We'll light the candles.
