What’s Included in My Monthly Service Package?
The Overlook is a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) located in Charlton, MA, that offers fantastic services and amenities to its vibrant and active community. The Overlook’s offerings, like most retirement communities, are paid for in two parts. The first part, known as an entrance fee, is a one-time, upfront and typically refundable payment. The second part of The Overlook’s offerings comes in a service package that you pay for monthly. So, when exploring any new retirement community, you should ask yourself, “What’s included in my monthly service package?”
In the case of The Overlook, we believe you will be very pleased with the answer!
Stellar services and amenities
The Overlook’s monthly service package covers an all-inclusive lifestyle. It covers your spacious and customizable residences – it also means your residence will be completely maintenance-free, so you never have to spend another minute doing yardwork or fixing utilities. Instead you can spend your energy on the things and the people you love.
The monthly service package also covers daily dining. The Overlook offers multiple dining venues with varying atmospheres and levels of formality to fit your mood. Acacia, the more formal dining venue, offers high-end, chef-prepared meals that delight the residents and give them the chance to try new and exciting dishes. From Tucker’s Café, the more casual dining option, to the fine dining, The Overlook’s James Beard Award-winning chef works hard to ensure that its dining focuses on nutrition as well as flavor.
The list continues. The Overlook also offers a state-of-the-art fitness center including a heated, indoor pool and spa, which is competitive with any modern exercise facility. It also offers an art studio and a performing arts center. The Overlook also boasts a gorgeous, 450-acre campus that is landscaped and maintained year-round and offers residents countless walking trails. The beautiful setting is perfect for hiking, walking, picnicking, birdwatching and even cross-country skiing.
The services and amenities don’t stop there. The monthly service package also covers regularly scheduled transportation, campus security and concierge services. There is even a convenience store, bank and a salon right on campus! Everything you need is at your fingertips at The Overlook.
Peace of mind
The Overlook also offers stellar healthcare services, should the need arise. When choosing The Overlook’s Life Care contract, your monthly service package fee remains stable for the long term—even if you utilize healthcare services—with little or no fee increase other than inflationary adjustments. Moreover, if your needs change, the quality care is located right on campus. This way, any services you need are conveniently available and won’t cause financial stress when choosing a Life Care contract. The community will give you everything you need, and you won’t have to move to a new location.
So, you will enjoy the convenient lifestyle and the wealth of activities we offer. From the tennis club, to the brew crew, to the chorus, to the hiking club – there’s a lot to do here with such wonderful people. And you never have to worry about the future. The monthly service package offers you the chance to live with total peace of mind in an environment that has everything you need.
