Financial Advantages Meant for Peace of Mind.
Few Retirement Communities Offer So Much Choice.
Find the plan meant for your budget and your well-being. Ask about our lifetime commitment to provide health care whenever you need it, even if you lose your income and assets. Only a not-for-profit community can make a promise this strong. And it's reinforced by a hospital-backed system with a reputation for exceptional care. (Please note that medical and financial criteria may determine your eligibility for a given program.)
Our Extensive Benefit Plan asks for a larger Entrance Fee up front, but gives you a 40% discount on any future Assisted Living or Med Center costs, with guaranteed placement.
If you choose one of our Fee-for-Service Plans with Entrance Fee, you pay a lower Entrance Fee than the Extensive Benefit Plan, but the same monthly service fee. Here, too, your placement for future healthcare needs is guaranteed at Fee-for-Service published rates at time of need or placement.
Entrance Fee Refund Options, Meant for Worry-Free Decisions.
We have three refund options to protect your financial future. We'll send any refund due to you no later than 120 days after you notify us of your intent to cancel.
- Standard Plan: You'll get a refund equal to the amount of the Standard Plan Entrance Fee, less two percent (2%) for each month of residence for up to 48 months, and less a four percent (4%) administrative charge.
- 50% Refund: You pay a 33% premium, based on the Standard Plan amount. Your refund will be 50% of the Entrance Fee, less a 2% charge for each month of residency for up to 23 months and a 4% administration charge. Your refund will never be less than 50% of the Entrance Fee you paid.
- 90% Refund: You pay a 93% premium, based on the Standard Plan amount. Your refund will be 90% of the Entrance Fee, less a 2% charge for each month of residency for up to three (3) months and a 4% administration charge. Your refund will never be less than 90% of the Entrance Fee you paid.
We also feature a Lease/Rental Agreement: You pay zero up front, but a slightly higher monthly service fee while in Independent Living. If you need healthcare services and there is available placement, you pay the published rates.
Lease Conversion: A Knox Exclusive, Meant for Maximum Flexibility.
These options are hard to match at any CCRC, anywhere. We offer several plans that protect your interests:
Want to try us out?
Are you having difficulty selling your home, but could afford the expenses of maintaining your home while moving to John Knox and taking on the Monthly Service Fee? Or are you considering moving to John Knox but are having difficulty making the commitment to a Life Care/Entrance Fee contract?
Choose our basic lease agreement, with the same deposits required and move in and try us out! Then, when you realize this is where you were meant to be, you reapply for one of the life care plans, and if you are approved, we will give you credit off the Entrance Fee: 25% of the first six months’ rent-Monthly Service Fee, as well as your deposits!
Another Knox exclusive: Up to 12-months, interest-free promissory note should you be caught in the “I haven’t sold my house yet” situation. By utilizing this John Knox exclusive option, available at the time of move-in when you would be paying the 90% balance of your entry fee agreement, you will immediately be considered an entry fee resident and receive the total health care protection you are entitled to. And then, when your home sells, you can pay off the promissory note with no interest. Another example of the peace of mind you find at St. Joseph’s John Knox!
