The cost of a Life Plan Community depends on factors like location, the type of residence and the services and amenities included. These communities may follow different financial models, such as:
- Ownership or equity-based, where you purchase your residence
- Entrance fee, where you pay an upfront fee along with monthly charges
- Rental, where you pay a monthly rate without a large upfront cost
Each model comes with its own structure for covering care and services. At South Bay at Mount Pleasant, we follow a no-entrance-fee rental model, offering the flexibility of monthly payments without a large upfront cost.
