INDEPENDENT LIVING | ASSISTED LIVING THE COMPASS MEMORY CARE™
WELCOME TO THE FAMILY
To Our Friends and Prospective Residents,
As president of Vantage Point Retirement Living, I would like to personally thank you for your interest in The Lodge at Historic Lewes. We believe that we have created something truly special and unique for those seeking exceptional senior living options in the area. We have devoted the utmost attention into every detail of our community – from its thoughtfully designed architecture, to its well appointed rooms, and to the unparalleled services that Lewes Lodge offers.
Lewes Lodge is different from any other option you may be considering. For example, we don’t require large up-front entrance fees and we offer the most spacious and modern independent living apartments in the area, many with balconies and patios. We also offer a host of á la carte services so you can make sure you are only paying for what you need, when you need it.
It is our mission to help you maintain the lifestyle you want. And with optional healthcare available, our goal is to provide all of our many services in the background so that you can live the independent lifestyle to which you are accustomed — knowing that a little extra help is available if and when you need it. At The Lodge at Historic Lewes, you’ll live your life, your way.
All of this comes with the commitment of a locally-focused and family-oriented business with decades of experience in senior housing and healthcare services. I personally back this commitment to you and want you to know that if you ever have any questions I can be reached directly at 610-321-1977, ext. 111.
I invite you to review the enclosed materials so you can see for yourself the many benefits that The Lodge at Historic Lewes offers.
Kind regards,
Greg Stevens
Cofounder & President

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What
makes The Lodge at Historic Lewes different?
Financial Freedom – Without long-term commitments or large buy in fees, our monthly agreements set us apart! Rather than writing a six-figure check to a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC), you maintain control of your assets. By doing so, you earn the interest and return on investments built up over a lifetime, not the community you’re moving into. And since we don’t tie up your assets in a complicated contract, it is easy to leave if you decide to move for any reason.
Flexibility – We offer independent living with the option of adding additional health and wellness services, if/when you need them through a one-of-a-kind association with local healthcare providers. These programs are designed to help residents maintain their independence for as long as possible; but if needs should increase, you’ll enjoy the peace of mind that comes with priority access to our on-site assisted living and memory care community.
Why do people choose The Lodge at Lewes?
Family - Summed up in one word, people choose our community over others because of our resident-centered and family-oriented approach. Here, we understand that family bonds are created by more than DNA. Our bonds are formed both by decadeslong relationships and first-time handshakes. Here, we believe that togetherness creates friendships across age, gender, and background. And these friendships create a family unlike any other.
What’s included in the monthly rent?
Independent Living: Your rent includes so much more than your apartment, such as: $300 worth of meals per person, per month, property taxes and basic utilities (i.e. water, heat, electric, trash collection, and recycling). It also includes services such as weekly
housekeeping & linen service and activity programs. Not included in your monthly rent are phone, cable and Internet, which are provided for a nominal fee, any meals that you purchase over your $300 monthly allowance, and additional services you opt to receive (i.e. services from our on-site healthcare partners, private transportation or salon).
Assisted Living/Memory Care: Your monthly fee includes three meals daily in our beautiful restaurant as well as the same convenient services and exceptional amenities offered in independent living. But most importantly, you’ll enjoy the peace of mind that comes with the presence of a licensed nurse in the community around the clock, and the most advanced health and safety monitoring technology available.
How many meals will I get with your meal program?
Independent Living: The simple answer is, it depends! As in all restaurants, the price of each meal varies depending on the time of day (lunch vs. dinner) and menu item (salad vs. filet mignon). Rather than allotting residents a certain number of meals, we feel offering a credit provides the most choice and flexibility. On average, you can expect your $300 per person credit to cover about 15 meals per month.
Assisted Living/Memory Care: All meals are included in your monthly rent in assisted living and memory care. We also have an any time cafe stocked with drinks and snacks around the clock.
How do your costs compare to other communities?
You’re going to be pleasantly surprised. Yes, we’re committed to topnotch services and technology but we’re also committed to value! We don’t charge large, upfront fees and our prices are extremely
competitive – and may even be lower than other communities in the area. Of course, we encourage you to compare and we think you’ll find that our community provides better value and more flexibility than many other retirement communities.
What’s involved in the move-in process?
It’s really quite simple. Our community relations team will work with you to help select your preferred floor plan and location in the community. Once your selection is made, you’ll complete an application for your selected apartment.
After that, we will schedule your move-in date and sign a rental agreement! We will work together to make the process as smooth as possible.
If you’re moving into assisted living or memory care, there are a few additional steps that we’ll need to take, but we’ll help you every step of the way! We’ll get in touch with your physician to obtain the necessary paperwork, and then we’ll conduct a very simple nursing assessment. Rest assured our team will be on hand to coordinate the process with you and/or your loved ones.
What happens if I need some additional help in my apartment now or in the future?
Independent Living: Another part of what makes us so unique is that our independent living apartments truly allow you to age in place for longer than is possible in your home alone.
Independent living is ideal for seniors who seek a worry-free lifestyle with countless services and amenities to enjoy at their fingertips, with access to flexible health and wellness services that will help maintain their independence for as long as possible. If you need additional help, our on-site healthcare providers can support you with a care plan individualized both to what you want, and need. We can also provide you with rehabilitation and therapies that will help you recover from and/or prevent future hospitalizations. If your needs increase over time, you can rest assured the team will be there for you in our on-site assisted living and memory care community, with the added peace of mind and security of 24-hour nursing.
Assisted Living/Memory Care: If you’re a resident in our assisted Living or memory care community, we establish simple levels of care and medication management programs which enables
residents to pay only for what they need. So if your needs increase over time, it is simple and convenient to adjust your program to meet your needs at the moment. And better yet, it is just as easy to adjust your program if you no longer need as much care! Our goal is to maintain and improve resident independence!
What types of changes can I make to my apartment?
Our community is your new home, and we want you to feel comfortable in your surroundings. There is an approval process for apartment modifications and your executive director will walk you through what that process looks like upon opening.
What happens if I move into the community, but then choose to leave?
Independent Living: As with most apartment leases, there is a 12-month initial term. After that, if you choose to leave, we merely ask for 60-days’ notice.
Assisted Living/Memory Care: Residents of assisted living or memory care require 30 days notice.
May I bring a pet?
Yes! We enjoy well-behaved pets and encourage you to bring them as long as you are able to care for and pick up after them. A small, non-refundable fee will be collected upon your pet’s arrival.
