Did you know that the odds of winning the Kansas Powerball jackpot are 1 in 146.1 million?

Good thing you don’t need to win the lottery to afford the retirement of your dreams. Tallgrass Creek in Overland Park is more than just affordable to middle-income homeowners. It’s a great financial decision. Many Kansas Citians don’t realize they can afford Tallgrass Creek until they call for their free Information Kit and come in to meet with Retirement Counselor Jane McIntire.

Many assume that a retirement community that offers this many amenities and services must be beyond their reach.

Not true! Take a look at these interesting facts about Tallgrass Creek.

Fact #1: Tallgrass Creek is affordable to most Kansas City area homeowners.
Overland Park is known for its lovely neighborhoods, cultural attractions, shopping, and fine dining. Often, when people see Tallgrass Creek’s address and prime location on Metcalf Avenue, they assume a lifestyle like this is out of their budget.

That’s not the case. Despite its enviable location, Tallgrass Creek is affordable to many Kansas Citians, not just those who live in Overland Park.

Doris Gomez, of Prairie Village, thought that Tallgrass Creek would be out of her price range until she did the math. “With everything that is included, like the utilities and such, the monthly service package isn’t any more than I’m paying now to live in my house. And when you take all those things into consideration—that I am now paying my own electricity and gas and cooking all my own meals, I’d say it’s a really good value.”

Fact #2: Tallgrass Creek is closer than you think.
Barbara Metcalf
, a Johnson County resident for years, looked at several retirement options around the county before deciding to join the Priority List at Tallgrass Creek. She likes the fact it is close to her current neighborhood, grocery stores, and just a short trip to friends and family. “The location is fantastic. It’s convenient to get to. Shopping and everything I need is right around here. The shops and things that’ll be available for me at Tallgrass Creek are great.”

Fact #3: Tallgrass Creek offers a wealth of conveniences at an exceptional value.
Tallgrass Creek will boast many of the same amenities and services you would find at an exclusive resort, including a Fitness Center, all-season swimming pool, and restaurants, all to be located centrally in the Audubon Clubhouse.

Tallgrass Creek will provide these amenities and services at a value you may not have thought possible.

Bob Krebs, who lived in Overland Park for over 15 years and chose an Erickson retirement community in Maryland to be close to family, said, “My wife and I planned to move to an Erickson community even before I retired. And we’re very happy we did. We have everything we want here. It’s an exceptional value.”

Fact #4: You don’t pay for services you don’t want.
Tallgrass Creek offers plenty of extras too. But in contrast to many other retirement communities that charge you for the services you don’t want or need, like housecleaning or health care, Tallgrass Creek’s financial plan is simple and straightforward. in order to keep costs down, Tallgrass Creek will allow you to choose which, if any, additional services you would like to take advantage of on a fee-for-service basis.

Fact #5: Erickson and Tallgrass Creek let you secure your nest egg.
If the easy to understand financial plan makes Tallgrass Creek a smart value, then Erickson’s 100% Refundable Entrance Deposit makes Tallgrass Creek a wise financial investment.

How does this innovation protect your hard earned money? Your entrance deposit is 100% refundable to you or your estate. So whether you decide to move, or live at Tallgrass Creek for the rest of your life, your full deposit will be returned to you or your heirs once your apartment home has been reoccupied.

“The 100% Refundable Entrance Deposit was one of the reasons i became interested in Tallgrass Creek,” Barbara Metcalf said. “i’d like to be able to leave something to my children. And if i ever leave the community it will be there. Other communities don’t offer that same security.”

The best part is Tallgrass Creek puts its promises in writing. The 100% Refundable Entrance Deposit is outlined in detail in the Residence and Care agreement. unlike playing your odds in Powerball, Tallgrass Creek’s financial structure, that has been used for over 24 years, ensures you’ll never have to gamble with your financial future.

“Erickson’s financial program and the refundable deposit made it easy to choose to live here,” Jim Guthrie, a Wichita area native who lives in an erickson community in Maryland, said.
