Your future
…secured.
…secured.
Confidence for the future.
Collington’s unique Life Plan Community combines independent living today, with the peace of mind knowing your needs will be met in any circumstance you may encounter in the future. This includes two distinct levels of living: independent living in your own private residence and assisted living (including a special residence for memory support).
Smart planning, excellent value.
Sometimes a resident may need care beyond the medical attention provided by our on-site Health Care Clinic. Collington is a true Life Care community – offering an unmatched level of quality and inclusive nursing care…at no additional charge.
As a Life Care resident, you’re assured unlimited access to a full continuum of health care services if needed, for as long as needed – all in our fully licensed, professionally staffed, on-site Creighton Center inclusive of assisted living. A Fee for Service contract – with a considerably lower monthly fee and market-rate health care fees – also is available as an alternative to a Life Care contract.
A choice of financial options…including a 90% Refundable Entrance Fee.
Both Life Care and Fee for Service contracts are offered with a choice of three Entrance Fee plans to meet your financial goals. Entrance Fee Choices available with either type of contract include a 90% Refundable Fee, a 50% Refundable Fee or a traditional Entrance Fee.
A solid foundation…for today and the future.
Collington is a not-for-profit community governed by the local Collington Episcopal Life Care Community Board of Directors. It’s also reassuring to know Collington is a member of the Kendal family of not-for-profit communities and services for older adults, known for fiscal integrity and transparency in governance for more than 40 years. Values rooted in Quaker principles led Kendal to establish a federal-type governance system that blends autonomy with shared strengths. Each Kendal community is an independently owned and operated not-for-profit organization with its own volunteer board. Assets remain within each local organization and under the care of each community’s board and staff.
It’s easier to make the most of today, knowing you have a smart plan in place for the future. That’s the idea behind Life Care at Collington.
