• Q: What happens if I run out of money?
• A: One of the greatest worries people express is: "What happens if I run out of money?" The Erickson commitment provides two options:
  • The entrance deposit may be used to pay for care.
  • If you exhaust the entrance deposit in paying your loved one's service package, we will continue to provide the same high quality of care, and your loved one will continue to live in his or her private Renaissance Gardens residence.

  This arrangement takes the financial worry out of your loved one's future, so that he or she can fully benefit from living at Renaissance Gardens and always receive the best in care. For details, please review the Renaissance Gardens Residence and Care Agreement.
