The Benefits of Reserving Your Home
The Charter Member depositor program at Belle Springs isn’t something most people decide to join overnight. It takes thought, honest conversation, and the right information at the right time.
When You're Ready?
For most people, the decision to explore a Life Plan community doesn’t arrive in a single moment. It builds overtime through a series of smaller realizations.
If any of these sounds familiar, it may be worth a closer look:
- You want to make this decision thoughtfully and on your own terms, not in response to a health event or family pressure down the road.
- The responsibilities of homeownership are starting to feel like more work than they’re worth, and you want that time back.
- You want more time and energy for the people and experiences that matter most, without homeownership logistics consuming them.
Many Charter Member depositors tell us the same thing afterward: The clarity they felt once they made the decision was immediate. The weight of "figuring out the future" lifted. That experience tends to come earlier in the process than most people expect.
Without the Runaround
Entrance Fees
Belle Springs uses an entrance fee structure, with partially refundable and non-refundable options starting at $310,000. The entrance fee covers continual updating and reinvestment in the community and provides access to the community’s campus and amenities, as well as access to the full continuum of care at a 25% discount.
A portion of the entrance fee may be tax-deductible as a prepaid medical expense. Consult your tax advisor for your specific situation. Becoming a Charter Member enables you to lock in current, pre-construction entrance fees. They do not change once you’re a depositor.
Monthly Fees
Monthly fees start at $2,640 and cover housing, utilities, dining, housekeeping, transportation, and access to all campus amenities and services. Becoming a Charter Member depositor enables you to lock in monthly fees through 2029, our anticipated opening date.
A portion of the monthly fee may also be tax-deductible as a prepaid medical expense. Monthly fees are based in 2029 dollars, which is the anticipated year of opening.
Depositor Advantages
The Charter Member depositor phase offers advantages available only to the founding depositors who commit during this early window before construction begins:
- Preferred pricing on entrance fees and monthly fees
- Locked-in monthly fees through 2029
- $1,200 discount off 2nd-person monthly fee (for 12 months)
- 25% Life Plan benefit discount
- Interest earned on reservation deposit (until occupancy date)
- Priority selection of floor plans and residence locations on campus
- Opportunities to personalize your future home with cabinets & countertops, paint, finishes, flooring, etc.
- Up to $3,500 moving cost allowance
These advantages recognize the depositors who help make Belle Springs possible. They are available only during the Charter Member depositor phase.
Options Look Like
A Life Plan community isn’t the right fit for everyone, and we’d rather help you make the right decision than the fastest one.
Some people choose to remain at home with added support services over time. Others explore rental independent living without a care continuum. And some find that the combination of lifestyle, financial predictability, and long-term planning that a Life Plan community offers is exactly what they’ve been looking for.
The honest comparison: If you stay in your home, you’ll likely face a reactive decision about care at some point, often under pressure and at a higher cost. A Life Plan community makes that decision proactively, with full information and a structure that protects you financially.
You Need to Decide Well
We offer a variety of resources designed to make this process feel manageable rather than overwhelming.
An affordability calculator is available online to help you see how Belle Springs fits into your overall financial picture. A cost comparison worksheet walks through the true cost of staying at home versus joining a Life Plan community. A Charter Member planning guide covers the depositor program in detail. All of these are available to download or request.
We also host small, welcoming events throughout the year where you learn more, ask questions of our team, and meet others who are working through the same process. These events are low-pressure and designed to help, not to sell.
