Frequently Asked Questions

LifeCare® is a financial agreement that provides quality services right where you live and protects you from the rising costs of senior care.

Key benefits include:

  • LifeCare contract with predictable costs for long-term financial security
  • Accommodation, services and amenities included in your entrance fee and monthly fee
  • Access to a continuum of care without increasing monthly fees if health needs change (excluding ancillary charges)
  • Priority access to assisted living, memory support, skilled nursing, rehabilitation and respite care

At a LifeCare retirement community (also called a Life Plan Community or Continuing Care Retirement Community), your all-inclusive monthly fee secures peace of mind for the future.

A Life Plan Community (sometimes called a Continuing Care Retirement Community or CCRC) is a senior living option that offers a continuum of care on one campus. Residents can transition from independent living to assisted living, memory support, rehabilitation or skilled nursing as their needs change, without having to relocate. This approach ensures convenience, stability, and peace of mind for both residents and their families.

LifeCare®, on the other hand, is a specific type of contract available at some Life Plan Communities. It offers residents predictable monthly fees, even if they require higher levels of care in the future.

Essentially, LifeCare provides a financial safety net by ensuring that the cost of care doesn’t fluctuate significantly, which can be a considerable benefit for long-term financial planning.

While all LifeCare communities are Life Plan Communities, not all Life Plan Communities offer LifeCare contracts. It’s essential to explore the options available at each community to determine the best fit for your needs, priorities and budget.

Your senior living entrance fee is a one-time payment for your residence at our Life Plan Community. The entrance fee amount is based on:

The size of residence you choose

  • The number of people living there
  • The type of contract selected

This entrance fee, combined with your monthly fee, secures your future access to all levels of care at Sandhill Cove, protecting you from rising health care costs.

Monthly service fees include all services and amenities, including your meal plan, maintenance, housekeeping and laundry, utilities, transportation, concierge assistance, use of the pool and fitness center, activities and events.

LifeCare® at Sandhill Cove may complement your long-term care insurance policy. Here’s what to know:

Potential insurance benefits:

  • Depending on policy terms, you could receive daily benefits paid by your policy while receiving long-term care at Water’s Edge, our on-site health and rehabilitation center
  • You may apply this benefit toward your monthly fee
  • You may be eligible to receive benefits for assisted living or skilled nursing

Important considerations:

  • Long-term care policies typically cover only a portion of health care costs
  • Coverage is usually limited to a specific number of days
  • These policies don’t guarantee availability in any particular health care center
  • As a Sandhill Cove resident, you’re assured access to Water’s Edge

Recommendation:
