The Move-Out Process
Have you and your family “had the talk”… about handling your Charlestown affairs at the end of life?
To help your family:
Ensure they have a copy and/or know where to find your Will or Trust. If you are a Veteran make sure a copy of your DD214 is available.
Have your family familiar with your Residence and Care Agreement with Charlestown. This is the contract that defines your refund settlement, if any.
Charlestown’s Board of Directors
We residents live in a non-profit entity called Charlestown Community Inc.(CCI) and WE are Charlestown, but there is help in determining our present and our future.
We residents have an all-volunteer group of extraordinary professionals that are our Board of Directors who are charged with maintaining Charlestown’s financial well being and assuring the long term viability of the community. They watch over our interests today and for the future. They do not discuss with us, or anybody else, what they are doing for us because their deliberations need to be confidential so that all viewpoints are considered during the decision-making process on the following:
