Every figure on this page is illustrative mock data for a fictional community. Nothing here describes a real organization.
“No resident has ever had to leave Harrowgate Commons because they outlived their savings. That promise is the reason we exist, and it is the reason we are careful with every dollar.”
Funded entirely by gifts from residents, families and the wider community. It covers the gap when a neighbor's resources run short, with no change to where they live or the care they receive.

You stay. Our Benevolent Care Fund exists for exactly this, and no resident has ever been asked to leave Harrowgate Commons for financial reasons. Your residence and your care do not change.
It depends on the plan you choose. The traditional plan declines over 50 months. The 50 percent and 90 percent plans return that share of the fee to you or your estate when the residence is re-occupied.
Yes. Couples often live together in independent living while one person receives assisted living services in the apartment, or one moves to memory support while the other stays. There is no second entrance fee.
Our health center accepts Medicare for qualifying short stay rehabilitation. Medicaid is accepted in a limited number of skilled nursing beds. Independent and assisted living are private pay, supported by the Benevolent Care Fund when needed.
It varies by floor plan. Cottages run longest, typically two to three years in this sample, while one bedroom apartments often come available within a year. A priority deposit holds your place and is fully refundable.
Both. Every cottage has a garage, apartments have assigned parking, and pets are welcome with no weight limit. There is a fenced dog meadow by the pond.
Gifts to the Benevolent Care Fund keep the promise that no neighbor leaves for financial reasons. Gifts to the Staff Education Fund send caregivers back to school.
