Benefits of Life Care Retirement Communities

The principal benefit of a life care retirement community is the security of knowing that you will not be charged additional fees should you need medical care and the peace-of mind of knowing where your medical care will be provided if it's ever needed.

Many retirement communities with continuing care facilities on their campuses often charge residents additional fees should they need assisted living or skilled nursing care services. These retirement communities may accurately claim to provide "care for life," however they cannot make the same claim for life care.

At the ACTS life care retirement communities, you can be sure that your monthly fee will never increase as health care needs change.

• Asset Protection: Your monthly fee will never increase as a result of moving to Oak Bridge Terrace Assisted Living Residences or WillowBrooke Court Skilled Care Center if you should ever need a higher level of medical care.
• Moderate, Controlled Increases in Cost: Monthly fees increase by modest percentages just once annually to cover increases in operating costs at the community.
• Tax Advantages: The Internal Revenue Service has determined that residents of continuing care retirement communities may deduct a percentage of the entrance fee and monthly fees as a prepaid medical expense on Federal income taxes. For additional information on how this might affect your finances, we suggest you contact your personal tax advisor.
