A 3-mile private beach, fine dining, pampering services, and a central Naples address. Equity that builds value and helps protect your estate for the next generation. Priority access to five-star health care and exceptional in-home support. Comfortable luxury, resort-style amenities, and a coastal lifestyle inspired by everyday treasures.
That’s the promise of homeownership at The Glenview at Pelican Bay, Florida’s only equity-owned LifeCare retirement housing community. If you’re weighing senior living choices and want more than just a lease, keep reading. This blog explains equity ownership, how it compares to renting, and why it’s one of the best senior lifestyle solutions on Florida’s southwest coast.
What Is Equity Ownership at The Glenview?
Here, you purchase your residence and hold its title. That means potential appreciation, possible homeowner tax advantages, and the ability for your estate to benefit from any gain.
It’s your home to decorate, host, and live in as you like.
When life shifts, our community flexes with you. Add GlenCare Home Care after a hospital stay or during rehab, or rely on award-winning Premier Place for short- or long-term skilled care. Many communities require an entry fee with partial refunds. At The Glenview, one predictable monthly fee keeps things simple, covering interior and exterior maintenance, housekeeping, dining plans, and a full slate of amenities.
Many people ask how equity is tied to support. Assisted living ownership means support comes to you. Through GlenCare, you can receive assistance with activities such as dressing, bathing, medication management, and daily routines, all while remaining in your own home. Should needs change, LifeCare offers a clear path to higher levels of support, including memory care and skilled nursing, with built-in financial benefits for owners.
How Equity Homeownership Stacks Up Against Renting
Rental options in a retirement housing community can seem straightforward at first. Over time, however, they often limit your choices and deliver less value. Here’s how equity ownership at The Glenview compares to rentals across four areas:
- Cost clarity and health care access
- Value and wealth building
- Control and voice
- Lifestyle and location
Equity ownership: Your residence is an asset. You capture potential appreciation, may access tax benefits, and preserve value for your estate.
Rental: Monthly payments offer no ownership, no appreciation, and no potential tax advantages associated with owning a home.
Equity ownership: Special monthly pricing for health care is available if you ever need it. You also have priority access to onsite resources for skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and in-home support.
Rental: Health services are usually paid at market rates. Priority access is not guaranteed, which can introduce uncertainty and additional costs.
Equity ownership: You’re a homeowner and an equity-holding member. You have a voice in community decisions and governance.
Rental: You’re a tenant. Influence is limited and often tied to lease terms.
Equity ownership: You live within Pelican Bay, with private beach access, a shuttle service, indoor and outdoor dining, and a 27,000-square-foot community center.
Rental: Amenities vary widely. Comparable access and privileges are rare and not included in most leases.
Strengthen Wealth, Secure Support: A Savvy Senior Lifestyle Solution
As a nonprofit community, The Glenview was built on the principles of stewardship, service, and quality. Ownership here provides a secure lifestyle you can shape to your preferences, including:
- No entrance fee. Put your money into an asset you own.
- Home ownership. Capture appreciation and potential tax benefits.
- LifeCare security. Access services at preferred rates if care is ever needed.
- A real voice. Participate as a controlling member and shareholder in a community that values resident leadership.
- Pelican Bay advantages. Enjoy private beach access, dining, entertainment, and community amenities that elevate daily life.
Most adults over 65 will need some form of long-term support. Equity ownership within a LifeCare model addresses that reality with two forms of protection: retaining wealth and securing a safety net of services. It’s risk management coupled with one of the most benefits-packed senior lifestyle solutions available.
Owning at The Glenview is also about the experience of living here. Residents enjoy chef-led dining, fitness amenities, clubs, concerts, lectures, volunteer opportunities, and Pelican Bay’s coastal setting. Your calendar can be as relaxed or as full as you like. Your home is your base.
If you’re drawn to a coastal lifestyle, want support that scales with your needs, and value the financial strength of ownership, The Glenview brings it all together. Equity homeownership here protects your independence, your preferences, and your plans.
