Financial
Monthly fees depend on the area, type and style of residence you choose. Many residents find it cost effective to live in a KMH apartment, where utilities, meals, housekeeping, home repair, maintenance, insurance and other costs are factored into the cost of living.
Many long-term care insurance policies work well in conjunction with our community.
Requirements
Financial and physical qualifications must be evaluated and met before you can become a resident.
Prior to moving in, a wellness evaluation will be completed to determine which level of care will best meet the needs and desires of the individual.
