Our community approach to retirement living allows our residents to really relax!
Seniors can enjoy all the benefits of living in a residential setting in our Life-Lease patio homes without the worries or responsibilities of traditional home ownership. For a one-time lease payment and a monthly
maintenance fee our residents have the assurance of a "lifetime" lease, and never again worry about mowing the yard, repairing the plumbing, or dealing with a leaky roof. One bedroom apartments are also available for seniors with a limited income or for people who are mobility impaired. A wide variety of activities help keep our residents engaged in life.
Residency Requirements for Life-Lease Units
Residents must be 60 years old or older (if a couple, one must be at least 60) and able to live independently. Only those individuals listed on the original contract can reside in the unit. Any other arrangements must be approved by Christian City.
Residents must have financial resources for the basic cost of the unit and to pay the monthly maintenance fee.
The basic life-lease cost of a unit varies depending on size, location and special features.
The residents have the right to live in their own units for the remainder of their lives as long as they can maintain themselves independently.
If a resident moves from the unit before completing 100 months of occupancy, that resident will receive the basic cost that was paid for the unit LESS ONE PERCENT (1%) FOR EACH MONTH OF OCCUPANCY. Basic costs do not include any improvements made to the unit at resident expense; i.e.: sunrooms and carports.
If a resident deceases within the first 12 months of occupancy and is the sole occupant of the unit, a refund of 50% of the basic cost that was paid by the resident for the unit will be paid to the resident's estate AT THE TIME ARRANGEMENTS ARE COMPLETED FOR OCCUPANCY BY A NEW RESIDENT. If the resident deceases after 12 months and is the sole occupant, their is no refund.
Occupancy begins with the month in which the resident becomes responsible for paying the monthly maintenance fee.
The monthly maintenance fee, reviewed annually and adjusted according to the actual cost for utilities and maintenance provided for all life-lease units, is due by the 10th of each month to the designated location for that housing area.
