The residents of Wesley Commons pay a one-time Refundable Entrance Fee upon moving to the community and a Monthly Service Fee for services to be provided. The Entrance Fee assures the residents' use of the community facilities and availability of the services and programs of the community. The continuing care benefit assures each resident lifetime access and use of the facilities and services in the Assisted Living Facility or the Health Care Center, if needed. The Entrance Fee varies depending on the type and size of residence and the entrance fee option selected.
The 50% Standard Refund Option: The refund is based on 95% of the Entrance Fee, less 1% per month for each of the 6th through 50th months of occupancy. The refund is never less than 50%, nor greater than 95% of the original Entrance Fee paid.

With either refund option, a resident may use the refund as a credit against healthcare expenses in the event of a permanent transfer to the Assisted Living, Special Care House, or Health Care Center.
