Should I expect a large Entrance Fee?
Our communities do not require a large “buy in” option. The entrance fee is a one-time fee due at admission, compared to larger CCRC’s, this entrance fee is minimal. Our assistance provides a seamless move in process where the SMDR and/or Case Manager work alongside the responsible parties to obtain the required documentation needed for an admission.
