Investing in Peace of Mind

Understanding Senior Living Costs

Like most non-profit communities, Atherton uses an Entrance Fee and a Monthly Fee. The entrance fee is a one-time amount paid when you become a resident to ensure you never have to worry about outliving your assets or needing more care than you can afford.

Entrance Fee

  • The amount is based on the type of entrance fee plan, the type and size of home you choose, and the number of people who will be residents.
  • Presently, Atherton entrance fees start at $201,000. The entrance fee for a second person is $25,000.
  • We offer several types of entrance fees to fit your financial goals. Our refundable plan provides a safety net over a four-year period. Repayable plans guarantee that a specified portion of your entrance fee will be returned to you or to your estate when your Atherton residency ends.

Monthly Fee

Atherton is one of the most affordable Life Plan Communities in the area. The overall upkeep and programming of our community is covered by the Monthly Fees.

  • Monthly Fees are based on the type of home you choose on campus and the number of people who will be residents.
  • These fees include much more than just rent. They include maintenance, safety features, utilities, a portion of meals, front desk services, shuttle transportation to local stores, recreation and programming.
