Retirement Community Pricing in Matthews, NC

Costs are Predictable, Even When the Rest of Life Isn’t. 

You realize the entrance fee isn’t an added cost when you realize it’s a prepayment on future healthcare at today’s rates, locking in access to assisted living, skilled nursing, and memory care before years or even decades of inflation.

Plus, residents average 39 to 41 percent in tax deductions on fees as a prepaid medical expense. And if savings are ever outlived through no fault of your own, the Acts Samaritan Fund ensures you are never asked to leave.
