If you live out of town and are planning a visit to Deerfield, please call the marketing office to make arrangements. Activities To sign up for the wait list Future Resident Agreement: The Future Resident Agreement provides you with a priority number, based on the date of sign up. You are asked to indicate the type of residence preferred and the projected move-in date. The Future Residency Agreement does not “lock in” the Entrance Fee. Future Resident Deposit: You are asked to make a deposit of $1,000, payable to Deerfield. The full amount is refundable for 30 days from the date the agreement is signed. Thereafter, $500 of this deposit is refundable should you cancel the Agreement, or the total amount is applicable to the Entrance Fee later. Disclosure Statement: We will provide you with a copy of our current Disclosure Statement, which fully describes the organization, facilities, policies, services, fees, financial condition and projections and other vital information related to Deerfield. Application Forms: After signing the Future Resident Agreement, you are requested to fill out and return the following forms within 30 days: Application for Admission Personal Health History Confidential Financial Statement Admissions Committee Review: Once your applications are received, the Admissions Committee of the Board of Directors will review the information. Please be assured that all information provided in the application process is handled with complete confidentiality. You will be notified in writing of preliminary approval of acceptance. If your application is not approved, you will receive notification, an explanation and a full refund of the Future Residency Deposit. The review takes from 20 to 30 days. Availability of Residence: Based on your priority number and on the type of residence specified and projected date, you will be contacted when residences are available. You have the right of refusal with no change in your status. Upon accepting the residence, you will proceed to the Residence and Services Agreement, thereby locking in the Entrance Fee; the Physician’s Health Form; and the Move-In Process. Residence and Services Agreement: The Residence and Services Agreement is accompanied by a deposit equal to ten percent (10%) of the Standard Entrance Fee for the residence you have selected, less the $1,000 Future Residency Deposit. The 10% deposit is fully refundable for 30 days from the date the agreement is signed. After that, the deposit is refundable as described in the Residence and Services Agreement. Physician’s Health Form: Prior to move-in, your physician will fill out and send to Deerfield the Physician’s Health Form with information from a physical examination completed not more than six months earlier. Move-in and Balance of Entrance Fee: You will have 60 days from the signing of the Residence and Services Agreement to move in or assume financial responsibility for the residence. The balance of the Entrance Fee for the refund option you select is payable then. You will be asked to arrange your move with Deerfield’s Move-in Coordinator. Benefits for Future Residents: Future residents may dine at Deerfield and will receive the Harbinger, a publication detailing events of interest to our future residents. Future Residents also have a priority for admission to the Simonds Health Care Center, based on space available.
