Return of Entry Fee Gifts

One way in which Lifespace residents may choose to make a planned gift to their community is by designating all, or a portion of their refundable entrance fee which was made upon admission to benefit The Lifespace Foundation in their community. Your gift becomes a lasting testament to your commitment to the community, creating a ripple effect of care and compassion that will have far reaching positive impacts on fellow residents for years to come.

How Return of Entry Fee Gifts Impact Our Residents and Communities

Return of entry fee gifts can do so much at our communities, and if undesignated they are directed to Lifespace’s Benevolent Care Fund. This fund allows residents who have exhausted their financial resources through no fault of their own to stay at their community, even if they can no longer afford their monthly fee. Even with the most careful planning, some residents simply live longer than they – or anyone expected them to – and that is a wonderful thing!
