3) What are the health requirements for residency?

You must be able to live safely in an independent residence and care for your own needs at the time of admission. In addition, you and your physician will be required to complete health assessment forms.

4) How many residences are there, and what are the plans for future expansion?

We currently offer 110 independent residences, 12 assisted living suites and 12 private skilled nursing rooms. Our zoning allows up to 225 independent residences and additional community space and long term care capacity. It is not yet determined if we will expand in the future.

5) What is the cost of residency at Kendal at Granville?

The cost of residency depends upon the size of the residence, whether 1 or 2 people will reside there, and which type of agreement you choose. With eleven available floor plans, there is a wide range of entry fees. Please call Bobbi or Emily for details. (888) 607-6660.

6) Is there a refund option?

We offer two types of refundable contracts. One plan gives a refund that declines to $0 over a 50 month period. The other plan declines over a 25 month period and stabilizes at 50% of the entry fee.

7) What are the age requirements for admittance to Kendal at Granville?

To be fully covered by the Residence and Care Agreement, at least one resident must be age 65. Kendal at Granville reserves unilateral discretion as to whether to extend the full coverage of the Residence and Care Agreement to a co-resident who is younger than age 65.

8) Is my entry fee safe with Kendal?

We use sophisticated actuarial advice to forecast our future responsibilities to residents, and we set aside reserve funds to meet those needs. Kendal has over 30 years of experience developing and operating retirement communities in six states, and that experience gives us a very informed estimate of the cost of honoring our promises in the Residence and Care Agreement.

9) Is there an additional fee if you need to move to assisted living or skilled nursing?

If you have selected Kendal's life care agreement, there is no additional charge for assisted living or skilled nursing. The life care contract provides you unlimited assisted living and nursing care for the same monthly fee you paid in your most recently occupied residence.

If, however, you have a long term care insurance policy, you may choose Kendal's modified contract. Under this contract you agree to maintain your long term care insurance and will receive a discount on the entry fee. When you need assisted living or nursing care, you will pay the per-diem rate for a period of time that is specified in your contract (called "per-diem period"), and seek reimbursement from your long term care insurance. If you need care beyond the per-diem period, you will resume paying the monthly fee for the residence you last occupied.

10) What happens in case of an emergency?

Kendal at Granville will have trained staff on duty at all times to respond to emergencies. Residences are wired with emergency call systems and fire alarms for your security and peace of mind.
