At The Seabrook of Hilton Head, an entrance fee resident member pays a one-time membership fee and an ongoing monthly service fee. A second person fee applies if there are two members entering the same residence.
Under a traditional, Declining Balance Contract, the entrance fee refund could amortize (decline) by 25% per year for the first four years, for example. In this case, there is no remaining refund after four years. The entrance fee amount of a declining balance plan is usually lower than a plan of higher refund, for example a 50% refund plan. Declining Balance: 48 months are 2% per month plus a one-time 4% admin fee.
Under a 50% Refund Entrance Fee Plan, a member is entitled to a refund of 50% of the original entrance fee upon leaving. The refund balance can also be utilized if the member were to outlive their finances, thus allowing The Seabrook to use the refund balance to subsidize services if the member needs to access these funds while still living in the community.
The Seabrook offers select apartments under a rental agreement. This option may be the right option for someone who is not sure of making a long term commitment, but wants to try the Seabrook Lifestyle. Rental contracts require one time entrance fee typically under $10,000. The monthly fee is slightly higher than that of an entrance fee or equity purchase. The rental program offers access to all amenities and services at the Seabrook and rental residents enjoy like services as other contract types.
By opting for a senior living community, you can gain financial predictability. Monthly fees cover a range of services and amenities, allowing you to plan your budget with confidence and avoid unexpected costs that can arise when staying home. The Seabrook provides on-site care options that can be more cost-effective, especially when considering shared resources and economies of scale.

Once the applicant has been approved both medically and financially, they will meet with the Executive Director.
The Entry Fee Contract is an Agreement between the new resident and The Seabrook. The new resident makes a one-time upfront payment (Entry Fee Payment) to the Seabrook and is entitled to reside in the condominium for as long as they wish. When the resident decides to no longer live in the unit (or cannot live independently), they can terminate the lease and no longer be responsible for the Resident's Monthly Fee. The resident or his/her heirs will receive a 50% refund of the Entry Fee Payment once a comparable unit is occupied again by a new resident (FIFO).
