Our homes make sound financial sense

Take pleasure in your retirement years knowing you have made a sensible financial decision by choosing Diakon Senior Living – Hagerstown. To obtain occupancy of our senior living accommodations, residents pay an entrance fee as well as a modest monthly service fee.

Diakon Lutheran Social Ministries takes pride in providing quality accommodations and services at affordable rates. In fact, we offer flexible pricing on our retirement accommodations to make them affordable to as many people as possible. For example, many of our accommodations offer a refund* of your original occupancy entrance fee, ranging from zero through 90 percent, based on the fee level you choose.

With this type of flexibility and refund schedule, you can be assured your decision to enjoy the Diakon Senior Living lifestyle makes financial sense!

(*Please note that refunds are contingent on resale of the occupancy of your unit, as well as your original fee level. Please consult individual agreements for details.)
