Lifecare
What Is
Lifecare?
Under The Mayflower’s lifecare agreement, residents are assured future care that includes skilled nursing, memory care, and assisted living, should they ever need it. We want to give our residents peace of mind for the future by offering lifecare agreements that ensure they receive the best possible care for the rest of their lives in an environment where they will be comfortable and happy.
Exceptional
value
The value of lifecare at The Mayflower is that residents have their own customized plan in place from the beginning that allows control over every decision concerning their future, including healthcare costs. Our lifecare agreement offers the security of living accommodations and services, healthcare over the long term even if financial status changes, access to premier amenities, and more. The quality of operation at The Mayflower differentiates us from other Life Plan Communities — from our exceptional reputation and the benefit of being a single-site nonprofit to dedicated staff and enriched independent living our residents love.

THE MAYFLOWER’S NEW FINANCIAL OPTION
PROVIDES CHOICE, FLEXIBILITY, SAVINGS
Moving to a Life Plan Community like The Mayflower at Winter Park empowers you to take control of your future by preparing for it today. How? By giving you a viable financial planning strategy.
In addition to premier residences, services and amenities, The Mayflower provides a discounted healthcare component that protects against rising long-term care costs – offering security (your care is guaranteed) and predictability (you’ll know you’ll be paying less). Choosing a Life Plan Community is a major decision with significant financial considerations. Agreement options vary and have different advantages.
More Choice. To provide more financial choices for people moving to our community, The Mayflower is now offering a new Life Plan agreement, in addition to our current Life Care agreement. While both agreements deliver the same array and quality of services, amenities, and benefits, the new Life Plan Agreement offers a lower cost in independent living.
The Life Care Agreement
Long-Term Savings. Life Care Agreement fees are higher for independent living so fees are lower if long-term care is needed. With this option, rates for healthcare are reduced by about 60 percent as compared to market rates.
New Life Plan Agreement
Lower Entrance and Monthly Fees. With the Life Plan Agreement, you pay lower entrance and monthly fees in independent living and when you access healthcare services such as assisted living or skilled nursing care, your cost for healthcare will still be 10 percent less than the market rate.
