Tools to Help You Make a Smart Decision

Also known as continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs), Life Plan Communities are senior living communities that provide multiple lifestyle options and choices, generally including Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care, Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation.

This is a term often used to distinguish communities that offer lifestyle options, with virtually no additional increase to monthly fees, whether you are in a residence or a residential health services program. Casa de las Campanas is the only not-for-profit Type A Life Care community in San Diego County. By contrast, some Life Plan Communities provide continuing care with a modified or fee-for-service contract, requiring additional fees for living at higher levels of care.

Communities often charge a one-time entrance fee. It’s an upfront sum to help cover community operating expenses and prepay some of the fees that come with offering access to continuing care for life. It also ensures priority access to all levels of health care, in case you ever need such care. At Casa, your entrance fee is based on the size of residence you choose and the number of occupants (you, or you and one additional occupant).

Monthly fees for residents include use of all community amenities as well as personal services such as meals, flat linen service, housekeeping, all utilities, cable and internet.

Residents pay for their own telephone service, medications, therapies, outside medical bills and personal expenses.

Of course. Each resident is designated an uncovered space at no charge. Apartment residents may rent a garage space for a modest monthly fee. We also have scheduled transportation for when you don’t want to drive.

Pets are permitted in all living residences at Casa. We have two dog parks on campus and are right across the street from a larger dog park in the Rancho Bernardo Community Park. When you visit, please speak with a marketing representative regarding our pet policy.

Casa is a not-for-profit corporation formed under the laws of the state of California. It’s managed by a board of directors, consisting of local business people who serve without pay. The community retains an executive director and administrator as part of its partnership with Life Care Services^® to manage Casa’s day-to-day operations.
