What qualifications must I have to move into Landis Homes?
To qualify, prospective residents (or at least one member of a couple) must be at least 65 years old. A surcharge is added to the Advance Fee for each year the younger person is under age 65. Exceptions may be made for younger individuals needing short-term skilled nursing. Acceptance for residency is contingent upon financial ability as well as meeting the essential requirements of tenancy with or without assistance. Prior to residency, more detailed medical information and updated financial information is required.
What Level of Financial Resources are Required?
Prospective residents must have the ability to pay the Advance Fee, plus show the resources to cover several years of future healthcare. Long Term Care insurance can be an important asset in paying for future care.
Why is there an Advance Fee?
The Advance Fee is an entrance fee providing a lifetime right to the cottage or apartment as long as the resident is able to meet the essential requirements of tenancy. Landis Homes residents are given priority for admission to Personal Care or Healthcare.
Do I get any of my Advance Fee returned?
All Advance Fees have a refund plan. Ten percent of the Advance Fee is non-refundable and the remaining 90% is amortized at 1.25% per month for 80 months. Guaranteed Refund Options are also available.
