What is an entrance fee?
An entrance fee is a one-time, up-front fee you pay to move into the independent living part of a Life Plan Community. The amount you pay will depend upon the size of the residence you choose and the number of people living in the residence. At a LifeCare® Community, generally, a portion of your entrance fee is refundable to you or your estate.
