Erickson pioneered the 100% Refundable Entrance Deposit,* which protects residents' equity, and a fee-for-service schedule that ensures residents only pay for services they want and/or need, making the full range of housing and health services available to middle- and moderate-income America.

Comprehensive Services

There are numerous services available to people who live in Erickson communities, including transportation, grounds maintenance, and housekeeping. On-site amenities include restaurants, stores, Fitness Center with full-time trainers, and a Medical Center staffed by board certified primary care physicians who specialize in geriatrics and practice only at Erickson campuses.

Erickson campuses are uniquely self-sufficient, providing their own security and emergency response service. They also provide their own road repair, snow removal, and other services typically funded by the local government.

Erickson campuses have a positive economic impact on the greater communities where they are located, through real estate taxes, capital investment, community expenses, and the creation of about 1,000 new jobs per campus.
