Cost

A retirement plan that doesn’t account for future care needs is only half a plan. As a Life Plan community, Stoneridge Creek allows you to enjoy retirement with confidence, knowing that your move puts a plan in place for your future needs, while protecting your nest egg.

Because so much is included, residents pay for Life Plan communities like Stoneridge Creek in different ways than they would for a traditional single family home or a rental apartment.

Stoneridge Creek residents pay an entrance fee when they move into the community. The price is based on the size and location of the home they select, and most of this fee is repaid to the resident or to the resident’s estate when they leave. Many residents use the proceeds from the sale of their current home to pay their entrance fee. At Stoneridge Creek, entrance fees start in the $500,000 and go up over $2,000,000 for our largest homes.

Stoneridge Creek residents pay a monthly fee that covers many day-to-day living expenses that they used to pay for with separate checks. The fee includes meals at restaurants, housekeeping and landscaping maintenance, entertainment and transportation services as well as access to long term care at the adjacent care center. In addition to simplifying their finances, Stoneridge Creek residents are no longer responsible for property taxes, HOA charges, real estate insurance or most of their utilities—and can receive significant tax benefits associated with their new move.

For those who take time to do the math, Stoneridge Creek can prove to be a compelling value and the lasting benefit of a retirement well-planned.

Not all Life Plan Communities (CCRCs) provide the same level of long-term care support to residents, and some retirees choose to take on more risk than others. Finding the right fit is important and the State of California has provided help by categorizing communities as type A, B and C.

As individuals, our life’s experiences aren’t the same and our retirement planning can’t be identical. Stoneridge Creek residents enjoy the flexibility to craft financial approaches that help them balance their current needs with their estate planning goals.
