Frequently Asked Questions

Everyone who comes to Wake Robin comes when they are able to live independently in an apartment or cottage, and must qualify financially and medically. You’ll also join our Depositor list to let us know your timing and your choice of apartment or cottage.

Wake Robin is a free-standing, single-site Life Plan Community, (also known as a CCRC or Continuing Care Retirement Community). We are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, governed by a local board of directors.

Presently, there are 400 residents. Of these, approximately 320 live in one of Wake Robin’s 114 apartments and 98 cottages. The remaining 80 live in the Linden Health Center, receiving skilled nursing, memory care or residential care, which is similar to assisted living.

Everyone who comes to Wake Robin pays an initial entrance fee, a “pre-payment” of long-term care, and a monthly fee. For an individual, this fee ranges from $231,240 for a 557-square-foot one-bedroom apartment to $821,920 for a 3,156-square-foot two-bedroom cottage, with monthly fees from $3,980 to $10,220 depending on square footage.

The price and fees cover lifetime occupancy costs, one meal a day, housekeeping, general home maintenance, utilities, wireless Internet, transportation, use of the fitness facility, classes and social events, as well as unlimited assisted or skilled nursing care if needed. Approximately one-third of the entrance fee and monthly expense may be tax deductible, depending on your circumstances.
