Why our Lifecare and nonprofit format matter
A smart plan for life
From the start, Legacy Pointe at UCF was created to be a Lifecare community. What this means for residents is that as they enjoy our great independent living lifestyle for many years, they have the peace of mind of knowing that if higher levels of care are needed in the future, they can access them right here in the community that has become home, at predictable rates that are well below standard market rates.
Our Lifecare contracts offer additional key financial benefits as well, including highly refundable contract options, and potential tax advantages—consult your tax advisor to see if these advantages apply to you.

The nonprofit difference
A key aspect to offering the most vibrant, engaging independent living community possible is our nonprofit structure. What this means more than anything is that the focus of the entire community is on the community itself and the lives of the residents here. That’s it. We’re not here to drive profits to investors or outside ownership groups. Our entire focus is on making the lives of the residents at Legacy Pointe better each and every day. This is our very focused mission.
This format also opens up opportunities for residents to have a strong voice in shaping what kind of community Legacy Pointe is. From formal resident leadership committees to more informal feedback on community programming, dining options and more, Legacy Pointe leadership values the voice of the residents here, and we’re always working to improve our services and amenities in ways that improve day-to-day life.
