Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is Life care?

With Life Care at Friendship Village of Dublin, you and your estate are protected from the spiraling costs of long-term health care. Independent residency includes the cost of long-term nursing care, basic assisted living, substantial savings on memory loss care and lifetime priority use of these on-site services. This is made possible through a one-time entry fee, which is based on the size and style of the residence you choose.

As a Life Care resident, your independent living monthly fee covers your care if you ever need it, except for two additional meals daily and any additional health care services not included in the monthly fee.

Q: What does the entry fee cover?

Your one-time entry fee and ongoing monthly fee gives you full access to the continuum of high-quality care, should you need it in the future, and our Life Care promise, which protects you from the ever-escalating cost of long-term care. For more than 30 years, Friendship Village of Dublin has been committed to providing distinctive environments and unparalleled service.

Q: What does the monthly fee cover?

The monthly fee is determined by the size and style of residence you choose, and covers a comprehensive collection of services and amenities. These include:

• Monthly meal credits
• Weekly flat linen service
• Housekeeping service twice per month
• 24-hour security
• All utilities
• Scheduled transportation
• All interior and exterior maintenance
• Fitness center
• Olympic-sized lap and aerobic pool
• Campus-wide Wi-Fi availability
• Access to the many other services and amenities available to all residents

Q: Is the monthly fee subject to change?

Yes. We may periodically adjust fees at a rate that reflects costs of operation and allows us to maintain our sound financial basis. Notification of any increase in the monthly fee is given to all residents no less than 30 days in advance. This adjustment generally occurs on an annual basis.
