Total LifeCare is an improved version of “continuing care.” Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs) have independent living, assisted living and licensed nursing care on site. We’ve added the security of lifetime residency and pre-arranged health care services. Should the need for skilled care arise, the only charges over the monthly fee for an apartment or home would be for additional meals and support services.

Our Memory Care adds a new level of care for residents who are experiencing mild to moderate cognitive impairment or memory challenges.

Your entrance fee is a one-time payment that can guarantee health care should your needs change. Our four options allow you to choose a payment based upon your:

• Priorities for living
• Philosophy regarding your assets
• Objectives in estate preservation
• Expected long-term health care needs

Entrance fees and monthly fees vary greatly and we prefer to have a telephone or at least an email conversation with potential new residents to discuss these nuances.

Please contact us for more details about RWC fees. We are happy to contact you in the manner you prefer with additional information.

There are many financial implications to consider before moving to a CCRC (Life Plan) community. Becoming a resident at RWC may present worthwhile tax and financial advantages. We recommend you speak with your personal accountant or financial planner about the benefits available to you.

The IRS allows medical deductions for residents who itemize their deductions from gross income. A portion of the monthly fee may for independent living residents may qualify as a medical expense deduction (usually about a third of the entrance fee or somewhere near 30%) on your taxes. To find out about the current year’s exact percentage, contact RWC’s Marketing Team because the percentage fluctuates.

Larger, Smaller, or Something In Between, Create the Home You Want at RWC.

Sometimes our new residents have their hearts set on a large, single-family home or a one-bedroom apartment – only to find other options better fit their needs. Please come for our tour and let us help you make the best choice for your situation. If you would prefer to stay in your own home, At Home with RWC can help you with that option as well.
