How To Apply At Our Senior Housing (PA Area)
With 275 retirement residences on our senior housing PA campus, we surely have one that meets your needs and wishes. Once you decide on the size, style and location of your new senior housing Pennsylvania at Sherwood Oaks, there is a two-step application process that will guide you through to the day you move into your new home.
Step #1 Financial Application
We will ask you to complete and return to us a Confidential Disclosure Application. This will help us determine if you qualify financially for the specific size residence that you are applying for. Our chief financial officer will review your application and we will call you with the results in a few days.
Step #2 Medical Application
Once you are financially approved we will schedule an appointment for you to meet with our Medical Director and Community Nurse. You (or your insurance) are responsible for the costs related to this medical application. A Consent to Release Information form is available and can be used to request that your medical records to be sent to Sherwood Oaks before your medical appointment.
After you've completed these two steps you will sign contracts on your new PA retirement home and give Sherwood Oaks a deposit in the amount of 15% of the entrance fee. This deposit will allow us to hold your residence until you move in. Typically, you will have up 90 days to move in. The balance of the entrance fee is due when you move in, at which time the monthly fee also begins.
