Type A Life Plan Community Contracts

True peace of mind starts with a smart plan: Life Care.

When it comes to choosing a community, it’s the senior living contract that best protects your financial legacy — because it determines what you’ll pay for health care, including assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and rehabilitation, if ever needed.

According to the Department of Health and Human Services, 7 out of 10 adults will need long-term care at some point, for an average of three years. Our Life Care contract provides peace of mind unlike any other and is the most comprehensive option available.
No more home maintenance chores. No worrying about who will take care of you if the time comes. No question marks about the availability or cost of long-term care. In our Life Care community, you’ll enjoy the most complete level of protection and support.

At Santa Marta, we offer a variety of floor plans with entrance fees starting at $280,000. This allows you to structure your Life Care plan to fit your lifestyle and your budget — knowing your monthly fee remains predictable, even if you or your spouse ever require a higher level of care. Plus, your entrance fee is highly refundable (to you or your estate) should you leave Santa Marta for any reason.

For priority access to high-quality care, lifelong financial protection, and true peace of mind for you and your loved ones, Life Care at Santa Marta is unmatched. To learn more or schedule a personal visit, please use our Contact Us form.

Answers to frequently asked questions about Life Care.

Life Care is the most comprehensive senior living contract available. With Life Care, independent living residents receive priority access to higher levels of living, if ever needed, through a highly refundable entrance fee and one predictable monthly service fee. Health services are provided at our health services center and include assisted living, memory support, and private skilled nursing care at little to no additional cost. Community services, events, and special amenities that enhance and enrich independent living are also included.

Many residents use a portion of the proceeds from the sale of their home to fund their independent living entrance fee. The IRS has ruled that portions of both the entrance fee and monthly fee are deductible on federal income tax returns as prepayment of medical expenses. To learn more, please consult your tax advisor.

The Santa Marta lifestyle compares favorably to the cost of staying in your current home when you add up everything that’s included:

  • Full interior and exterior maintenance of your apartment home or villa
  • Full maintenance of the meticulously landscaped grounds, including a heated underground parking garage (villas include an attached garage)
  • Monthly dining credit to use in our on-site restaurants, Botticelli’s and Café Della Terra
  • Activities, social events, and lifelong learning opportunities
  • Chapel, daily Mass, and other spiritual services, including interfaith offerings
  • Card and game rooms; arts and crafts studio
  • Fitness center and wellness programming
  • Indoor heated pool and therapy spa
  • Business center
  • Formal communal living room
  • Private dining room
  • All utilities except telephone and internet
  • Weekly housekeeping
  • Laundering of flat linens
  • Scheduled transportation
  • On-site security with emergency call systems in each apartment home and villa

Of course, your fee also includes access to assisted living, memory support, or private skilled nursing care if needed.

Your one-time entrance fee and monthly service fee depend on the floor plan you select and the number of occupants. Choose from a variety of floor plans, with entrance fees starting at $280,000. You will also have peace of mind knowing your entrance fee is highly refundable to protect your estate.

You can expect annual increases in your monthly fee to offset rising utilities, salaries, and operating expenses; these increases typically average between 3% and 5%. We communicate the need for any increase clearly, specifically, and well in advance.

No. You will not need to move from your apartment home or villa. Even if one of you remains at home, the other can receive care from the experienced staff you know and trust in our health center on the same campus.
