Contract Options

In order to provide you with options that best suit your personal financial situation, Edenwald offers two contract types: Type A, known as “LifeCare,” and Type C, known as “Fee-for-Service.”

 

TYPE A, LIFECARE CONTRACT

The Lifecare contract at Edenwald offers residents unlimited lifetime assisted living, specialized memory care and comprehensive nursing care in their independent living monthly fee.

Residents with a Lifecare contract receive an annual tax-deduction for the medical expense portion of their monthly fee. In 2022, the deduction was $31,842 per person. The first year of occupancy at Edenwald, a resident may also claim a portion of their entrance fee as medical expense.   For 2022 that amount was $79,494 per person.*

TYPE C, FEE-FOR-SERVICE CONTRACT

The Fee-for-Service contract at Edenwald offers residents the flexibility of a reduced independent-living monthly fee (when compared to the “Lifecare” contract) with the availability of on-site lifetime assisted living, specialized memory care and comprehensive nursing care, if needed, at a market-based rate specific to the healthcare area utilized.

Residents with a Fee-for-Service contract receive a medical expense tax-deduction when they are paying a healthcare per diem or monthly fee.  Fees are not deductible as a medical expense for independent living.*

 

Your contract choice, Type A or Type C,  can depend on several factors, including your current finances and health. To get help with choosing a contract option, give us a call at 410-339-6290.

*A resident must meet all of the criteria required by the IRS for a medical expense deduction. We recommend you consult with your tax professional to discuss how the deductions will affect your personal income tax situation.
