At Larksfield Place, independent and assisted living residences are private pay. Here is a breakdown to help navigate the difference between costs of retirement community services and differentiate refundable deposits.

As a not-for-profit, Life Plan Community, Larksfield residents make a 80% refundable Entrance Fee deposit.  Most new residents use proceeds from selling their home. Entrance fees range from around $107,000 upward, depending on floor plan.

In addition, monthly service fees range from $2,110 to $5,000 or more.

When Larksfield Place is home, those homeownership costs for taxes, insurance, utilities, repairs and so forth are all covered by your monthly service fee. Even broken-down appliances (and burned-out light bulbs!) can be replaced, at no additional cost – and those replacements typically happen immediately.
