Be in the Know: Life Plan Communities Offer Valuable Tax Benefits

April 7, 2026/in Blog

When looking at retirement living options, buying or renting into a senior living community are well-known options. But choosing to live in a Life Plan Community offers some valuable federal tax benefits that other senior living options do not. Read on to learn more.

What is a Life Plan Community?

Life Plan Communities, also known as Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs), provide the security of having a plan in place for any future healthcare needs that might arise. Residents enjoy independent living today, with the confidence that quality care will be available if they ever need it. Most CCRCs offer multiple service levels: Independent Living, Assisted Living, Skilled Nursing, and memory support services, all available when you need them.

What are the tax benefits?

Current federal income tax laws permit residents of CCRCs, like John Knox Village of Pompano Beach, to write off a sizeable portion of the one-time entrance fee as a medical deduction for the move-in year. Additionally, a percentage of the monthly service paid each year can be itemized as a medical expense.

At the beginning of each year, in some communities, such as John Knox Village, auditors calculate the portion of the Entrance Fees and Monthly Service Fees that are attributable to medical expenses and provide this information to residents for their tax preparation.

Can a financial advisor help me navigate this?

Tax and financial advisors can play a crucial role in helping seniors living in CCRCs and Life Plan Communities navigate the complexities of tax laws related to their unique situation. An advisor can help you understand CCRC-related tax deductions, such as:

• The amount or portion of your healthcare services and fees to the CCRC, as applicable
• Other potential itemizable deductions, such as local income taxes related to living in a CCRC
• Specific tax implications of different types of CCRC contracts, including the nuances of life care, fee-for-service, and other modified contracts

In addition, financial advisors can help seniors project future healthcare needs and provide guidance on potential tax implications for accessing long-term care services within or outside of the CCRC.

How much can I deduct?

According to Carol Enisman, Investment Advisor Representative and Managing Partner at Premier Wealth Planning in Fort Lauderdale, “The current tax code allows you to deduct a portion of your unreimbursed medical and dental expenses that exceed a set percentage of your Adjusted Gross Income.”

However, she says, it’s important to note that you’ll need to itemize your deductions rather than take a standard deduction, which would disqualify you from claiming medical expenses.

I’m not sure which type of care contract I should choose. Can you tell me the tax benefits of each?

The tax benefits may vary, depending on which type of care contract you select. A Life Plan Community Consultant can explain the different contract options, including Type A, B, and C contracts, and what each includes. Depending on how much healthcare coverage is included in the contract you choose, the medical expense tax benefit may vary.

For some types of CCRC contracts, a portion of the entry fee and monthly fee may be applied toward future medical expenses. Essentially, this portion is considered a pre-paid medical expense and may be included as part of your annual medical expenses.

Are there any other deductions seniors should keep in mind when filing taxes?

Many healthcare-related expenses — such as hospital bills, prescriptions, dental and vision care, in-home medical care, and hearing aids — may be tax-deductible if you itemize deductions.

The IRS allows you to deduct qualified unreimbursed medical expenses that exceed 7.5% of your adjusted gross income (AGI).

In addition, transportation costs for medical care, such as mileage to and from doctor’s appointments, as well as parking and tolls — may also qualify.

The bottom line?

A Life Plan Community can offer some true financial and tax benefits that other senior living options do not. Be sure to do your research. Make sure you’re taking advantage of any deductions you may be eligible to take.

Most importantly, it is always best to speak with your tax professional, who will be able to advise you with up-to-date tax regulations.

Why a Life Plan Community is a Wise Investment

April 2, 2026/in Blog

Reprinted from the South Florida Business Journal, March 31, 2023

By Kim Morgan – John Knox Village

Older adults face a variety of choices when planning for their future lifestyle and health care needs. The rising cost of medical care in the U.S., especially long-term care, has made understanding options very important.

The decision to move to a life plan retirement community (also known as continuing care retirement community, or CCRC) is a wise investment in many ways, especially when older adults consider where they would like to age well with purpose, and what a perfect life looks like in retirement. Many life plan communities (LPCs) offer rich social and cultural experiences, excellent health care, security and peace of mind. The financial professionals and estate planners we work with are increasingly advising clients to consider a move to an LPC as it is a responsible option that provides a rewarding lifestyle and ensures long-term health care if the need arises. Residents who choose to live in LPCs are relieved of the stress of becoming a burden to their family, friends and the state as they age.

According to AARP, “The chief benefit of LPCs/CCRCs is that they provide a wide range of care, services and activities in one place, offering residents a sense of stability and familiarity as their abilities or health conditions change. A resident can start out living independently, and later transition to assisted living to get more help with daily activities, or to skilled nursing to receive more medical care, while remaining in the same community.”

Moving to a Life Plan Community Makes Financial Sense

Investing in the future at a life plan community like John Knox Village of Florida (JKV) in Pompano Beach is a proactive move. It comes with the added value of providing health care that may be needed and affords a tangible sense of security for aging in place. An LPC like JKV requires a resident be in good health when moving in, who can then enjoy independent living in a beautiful home with an active lifestyle for as long as possible.

Scott Montgomery, financial advisor to high-net-worth families at Provenance Wealth Advisors in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, says he has often seen clients procrastinate on making a plan by thinking, “I still have time.” But as he notes, “Things can change quickly,” says Montgomery. “This is another strategy — a way to ensure that if you run through your money, you’re not going to have to rely on your children.”

Montgomery feels it is a moral responsibility for professional advisors to talk to their clients about long-term care. “If your financial advisor is not counseling you about long-term care, then reach out to someone who is,” he says.

Life Plan Community Options

NaCCRA (National Continuing Care Residents Association) publishes a Consumer’s Guide as a reference on what to consider when choosing such a move. According to NaCCRA, “It is important, when contemplating a CCRC/LPC, and especially when comparing one to another based on price, to be sure to understand the different types of contracts which are offered.”

There are variations in contracts, however. The two main contracts to consider for moving to an LPC are “Type A” and “Type C.”

Type A Contracts for CCRCs/LPCs

A Type A contract is often referred to as a full care, inclusive contract. At JKV, this contract covers:
• The entrance fee.
• The monthly service fee based on the size of the home selected.
• Unlimited future health care needs with admission to assisted living or skilled nursing.
• All located on JKVs botanical, lush 70-acre campus.

Type C Contracts for CCRCs/LPCs

The Type C contract is usually referred to as a “fee-for” service contract. At JKV, the Type C contract provides the same services as the Type A without the health care benefit:
• With Type C, the resident pays for assisted living or skilled nursing care services as needed, out of pocket.
• JKV residents are charged the prevailing rate for these services with a 10% discount.

More Than a Move—A Lifestyle Upgrade

John Knox Village Supports ScentsAbility with Golf Cart Donation

December 17, 2025/in Blog

JKV forges a new community partnership with ScentsAbility Candles — Crafted by Artisans with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (I/DD)

The IDDeal Foundation and ScentsAbility Candles is a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD). Founded in 2009 by Bonnie Schmidt and Denise Anderson—two devoted mothers of adult daughters with I/DD—the organization was created to provide meaningful work opportunities, purpose, and community.
After high school, many individuals with I/DD face significant challenges, including the loss of federal funding, limited pathways to independence, and feelings of social isolation. ScentsAbility was designed to change that.

Today, ScentsAbility Candles operates as an innovative social enterprise offering sustainable income, life skills training, and a vibrant community for adults with I/DD. What began as an alternative to repetitive or institutionalized tasks has evolved into a model of empowerment, offering adaptive strategies that help artisans thrive. In addition to its mission-driven programs, ScentsAbility produces a full line of beautifully crafted, artisan-scented candles.

When ScentsAbility approached John Knox Village (JKV) about the need for a two-seat golf cart to support their daily operations—transporting supplies, moving artisans between workstations, and improving workflow—then-CEO Dr. Sal Barbera immediately agreed to donate one.

“I cannot think of a better organization that can use a golf cart more than the good people at ScentsAbility,” Dr. Barbera shared.

To further support ScentsAbility’s mission during the holiday season, JKV’s Life Enrichment team hosted a hands-on candle-making demonstration for residents. Residents had a chance to get up close and personal with the ScentsAbility team, learning about their mission from Bonnie Schmidt, and making a candle. Participants learned how to create ScentsAbility’s signature Beach Bliss gel candles, complete with beach-themed decorations and embellishments—either to gift or to enjoy themselves.

JKV plans to partner on more events with ScentsAbility for fundraising and education for residents in 2026 and beyond.

Give Yourself the Best Gift Ever: Peace of Mind

December 3, 2025/in Blog

JKV VP of Sales & Marketing

A Message from Kim Ali, VP of Sales & Marketing

As we gather with loved ones this holiday season, many of us naturally reflect on family, health, and what the future may hold. One of the most meaningful gifts you can give—both to yourself and to those who care about you—is the comfort of knowing your future is secure.

At John Knox Village, my mission is to guide individuals through the many senior living options available and to help them understand the tremendous advantages of choosing a Life-Plan Community, also known as a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC).

This year has reminded all of us how quickly circumstances can change. With so much uncertainty—from fluctuating markets to world events—it’s only natural to want stability and reassurance.

That’s why now is the time to put a plan in place that protects your financial security and ensures you’ll always have the care you need.

If you’re exploring your options, you may be wondering:

• Who will support me if I need extra help?
• What will long-term care cost?
• What if my spouse and I need different types of care?
• Will I have enough resources to last my lifetime?

A Life-Plan Community provides clear, comforting answers. It offers predictable costs, guaranteed access to higher levels of care, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing you’re prepared for whatever the future brings.

At JKV—South Florida’s premier CCRC—you’ll find Independent Living, Assisted Living, Supportive Memory Care, and Skilled Nursing right on campus available when, and if, you need them. Our residents also feel confident knowing that under the leadership, warmth and vision of our new CEO, Melissa Honig, the community has a bright future.

But what truly sets JKV apart is the lifestyle with incredible amenities right on the JKV campus:

A 350-seat Cultural Arts Center with high-caliber performances
Seven exceptional restaurants led by Johnson & Wales University-trained Chef Pete Murphy
An Aquatic Complex that’s home to two resort pools and pickleball courts
Art and music studios
A fitness center with 50 classes a week, led by fitness professionals
A personal technology classroom with a dedicated Technology Engagement Coordinator
And more than 100 monthly programs focused on lifelong learning and joyful connection

Most importantly, JKV is a community filled with kind, supportive, welcoming people who quickly become friends.

If you’ve ever thought about securing your future—or if your family has encouraged you to explore your options—this is the moment to act. There is no greater relief than knowing you have a plan in place.

We would love to talk with you, answer your questions, and help you explore the beautiful living options available at JKV.

Contact us for a visit, or a no-pressure conversation to get more information. Come see why giving yourself the gift of peace of mind might be the best decision you make this year.

Beyond Real Estate: What You’re Really Buying At JKV

Once you’ve realized that John Knox Village could be the perfect fit for you or a loved one, the next essential step is to connect with a Life Plan Consultant.

More often than not, the first question is: “What will this real estate transaction cost me?” It’s not uncommon for prospective residents to be surprised when they learn that they aren’t simply purchasing an apartment or villa.

The upfront Entrance Fee you pay secures you an all-inclusive Life-Care contract. This ensures that any future healthcare needs will be met right here on our 70-acre campus. You’re not just purchasing real estate; you’re investing in your peace of mind.

If your health changes and you require assistance, it’s all included: Assisted living, supportive memory care, skilled nursing—everything’s covered. You will have access to all levels of care without having to worry about extensive costs down the line.

Nearly 1,000 residents enjoy the vibrant community life at JKV, from the many and varied activities and friendships, to the support that comes from being surrounded by people who understand the journey of aging.

It’s not just about a home. You’re choosing a lifestyle, a community, and a promise of care.

He adds, “That’s why the mission of John Knox Village means so much to me. Here, our residents don’t just have a place to live — they have a lifestyle filled with connection, security, and purpose. Whenever I’m faced with a decision, I see our residents as an extension of my own family and ask myself: ‘What would I want for my grandmother?”

Doug Folsom, John Knox Village Chief Operating Officer

What JKV’s Chief Operating Officer, Doug Folsom Learned at the 2025 LeadingAge Southeast Conference

August 21, 2025/in Blog

The 62nd Annual LeadingAge Southeast Convention & Exposition was a premier event for senior living professionals, offering opportunities to learn, network, and explore the latest innovations shaping the industry.

Held in Orlando, Florida, the conference left JKV Chief Operating Officer Doug Folsom energized and inspired.

“This year’s conference was amazing,” Folsom said. “The sessions I attended—covering everything from industry trends, dining innovations, and strategic planning, to the rapid growth of artificial intelligence in healthcare, legal considerations, and preparing future leaders—impressed me beyond measure.”

Fresh Ideas and Future Goals
Folsom said the conversations he had with other industry leaders sparked new ideas for enhancing resident life at JKV.

“Traditionally, continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs) have been among the last to adopt new AI and technology tools,” Folsom said. JKV’s leadership team aims to change that by exploring the purchase of smartwatches for all residents — devices that could help prevent falls, monitor blood pressure, and automatically alert healthcare staff to potential concerns.

“We want to prevent potential problems rather than passively wait for something to happen,” Folsom explained.

The Role of Education—At All Levels
Another key takeaway for Folsom was the importance of education—not only for leadership and staff but also for JKV’s 11-member Board of Directors.

“The Board needs to understand forward-thinking for the long-term, not just day-to-day living at JKV,” he said. “We need a broader scope of what the future is bringing to our industry.”

A Commitment to Stewardship
The conference left Folsom so motivated that he is now seeking additional educational opportunities in the industry, both to attend and potentially present at. Drawing on his experience as JKV’s former CFO, he remains acutely aware of the financial responsibilities facing the senior living industry.

“As always, I believe in being a good steward of our residents’ finances,” Folsom said.

At John Knox Village, the insights gained from conferences like LeadingAge Southeast fuel our ongoing commitment to excellence. By embracing innovation, investing in education at every level, and staying ahead of industry trends, we remain focused on enhancing the quality of life for our residents today and for generations to come. Whether through exploring new technologies like AI and smart health devices, reimagining wellness programs, or continually refining our operations, JKV is dedicated to leading with vision, compassion, and innovation—ensuring that our community and its residents continue to thrive in a rapidly evolving world.

More Than a Move — A Lifestyle Upgrade
For more than 58 years, John Knox Village of Pompano Beach, Florida, has set the gold standard for all-inclusive, resort-style living that empowers older adults to live life to the fullest—at every stage of retirement. The community emphasizes whole-person wellness with state-of-the-art fitness facilities, world-class programming, delicious dining, and much more.

Meet the Experts at JKV: Jennifer Stevens, VP of Healthcare, Leading the Charge for Senior Care Excellence at JKV and Beyond

July 30, 2025/in Blog

In an era where the healthcare landscape is constantly evolving, Jennifer Stevens, Vice President of Healthcare at John Knox Village (JKV), has become a beacon of leadership and advocacy in the senior living sector. With an unwavering commitment to improving the quality of life for older adults, Stevens is not only a key figure at JKV, but also a respected thought leader among Florida’s Life-Plan Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs).

Stevens’ extensive experience and dedication have propelled JKV to the forefront of senior care in South Florida. Under her guidance, JKV has earned accolades for its high standards of care, with a comprehensive range of services. JKV’s proactive approach to meeting the diverse needs of its residents has solidified its reputation as a leader in the field.

Stevens has been a strong voice for maintaining adequate government funding to ensure that essential services for older adults remain accessible.

In addition to her role at JKV, Stevens also serves on the Board of Trustees for LeadingAge Southeast, where she is a passionate advocate for senior living communities across Florida. LeadingAge Southeast is a regional association dedicated to supporting nonprofit senior living and aging services organizations in the southeastern United States. It is a part of LeadingAge, a national association that represents nonprofit providers of aging services across the country.

Through her involvement with LeadingAge, Stevens engages directly with state legislators, working to shape policies that impact the senior living industry. One of her key legislative achievements was her successful efforts to delay a bill that could have imposed regulatory overreach on CCRCs. Stevens, along with colleagues from LeadingAge Southeast and the Florida Life Care Association (FLiCRA), lobbied to revise the bill’s language, preventing potential harm to CCRCs and their residents.

Her advocacy doesn’t stop there. Stevens is deeply invested in the financial stability of long-term care services, particularly in relation to Medicare and Medicaid funding. Having engaged directly with state representatives, she has been a strong voice for maintaining adequate funding to ensure that essential services for older adults remain accessible.

“Cutting reimbursement for Medicaid would be devastating and leave many seniors without the support they need,” she warns, emphasizing the critical role that policy decisions play in the sustainability of senior care services.

At JKV, Stevens continues to innovate and push for the highest standards of care. Her leadership ensures that JKV adapts to the ever-changing needs of seniors, providing a full spectrum of care that includes Gardens West (assisted living), Seaside Cove (long-term care), The Woodlands (short- and long-term rehabilitation and skilled nursing), Home Health (in-home care), and Wellness Nursing (preventative care).

Through her tireless efforts, Stevens has shaped JKV into a community that not only prioritizes the health and well-being of its residents but also serves as a model for excellence in the senior care industry. Her work continues to inspire and empower those in the field, championing a future where older adults receive the dignity, resources, and care they deserve. Jennifer is just one of the many experts who make the experience of living at JKV unparalleled.
