Retirement Community Pricing in Fort Washington

Compare the Home, Services and Future-Care Approach Together.

Far from an added cost, the entrance fee is more of a prepayment on future healthcare at today’s rates. This locks in access to assisted living, skilled nursing, and memory care before years or even decades of inflation.

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.
