Residents of Blakeford’s Life Care Community pay an Entrance Fee that provides lifetime use of their residence and access to services and care. Many residents use proceeds from the sale of a previous home to fund this fee.
In addition, residents pay a monthly service fee that covers operating costs such as utilities, housekeeping, interior and exterior maintenance, TV and internet service, emergency response systems, meals, fitness programs, and many community activities.
Blakeford offers flexible Entrance Fee options designed to meet a variety of financial and estate planning needs. Residents may choose from refund options that return 50%, 90%, or 0% of the Entrance Fee to their estate.
The 50% and 90% refund plans provide partial reimbursement, while the 0% refund option offers a reduced Entrance Fee that amortizes over 36 months. This flexibility allows residents to select the plan that best aligns with their financial goals and priorities.
No. While the Entrance Fee may feel similar to a real estate transaction, it represents participation in Blakeford’s Life Care model rather than property ownership. Residents do not own real estate within the community.
Instead, the Entrance Fee provides access to housing, amenities, and care at discounted rates throughout a resident’s lifetime, eliminating concerns such as property taxes, maintenance costs, and market fluctuations.
CARF-CCAC accreditation demonstrates Blakeford’s commitment to meeting rigorous national standards for quality, safety, and accountability in continuing care communities.
