WhY CHOOSE A LIFE CARE Community?

Smart Planning. Lifelong Value.

Choosing Emerald Heights means choosing a future that’s both secure and flexible. As a Type A Life Care Community, we offer a one-time Entrance Fee with three options to fit your financial goals: Traditional, 50% Refundable, and 90% Refundable plans.
 
In addition, you’ll pay a Monthly Fee that covers your residence, daily living expenses, and a wide range of services and amenities. This fee is subject to a small cost of living increase once a year. Best of all, if your health needs change, care in our assisted living, memory support, or skilled nursing neighborhoods is included, with no increase to your monthly fee based on the level of care you receive. It’s a smart, stable plan that gives you the freedom to enjoy today, with confidence in tomorrow.
 
Plus, a portion of your Entrance Fee and your Monthly Service Fee may qualify as prepaid medical expenses, offering potential tax benefits.
