Within four to six months after arriving at Friendship Village of Dublin, newcomers are asked to share their thoughts about every aspect of their new lifestyle.  Most of the comments made and responses to most questions are unique to the majority of individuals, but there is one question that generates the same answer 99% of the time:

Question: What would you say was your primary reason for choosing
Friendship Village of Dublin over all other options?

Most frequently cited reason: Lifecare.

Here's why... a primary concern we all have as we get older is the availability and expense of assisted living and long term nursing care.

We also know that 50% of all Americans who reach the age of 80 will need health care related assistance in the future; and that percentage goes up with each birthday after 80.  Those of us in our 60's and 70's are well aware of this fact because of the experiences of relatives and friends.

In Columbus, Ohio today, the cost of assisted living for one person ranges from $3,000 to $4,000 per month and nursing care starts at about $6,000 per month for one person.

Friendship Village of Dublin's Lifecare program, included with independent residency, provides basic assisted living and long term nursing care at very little extra cost.  For example, a single person may reside in long term nursing care for as little as $2,446 per month while for a couple (both spouses residing in long term nursing care), the cost could be as little as $3,840 per month.  (Please note: additional charges for medical supplies, medication, etc. will apply as will charges for care beyond Level 1 in assisted living.)

In addition, the Federal Government views part of the cost of independent living at Friendship Village of Dublin to be deductible as a payment for future health care expenses on each year's federal tax return.

Bottom Line... Lifecare provides a savings of up to 60% on the cost of long term nursing care for a single person and up to nearly 70% for a couple plus the potential to deduct a portion of the cost of independent living each year.  Think of the peace of mind anyone would feel knowing the future is secure because of Lifecare.
