We toured Jenner's Pond Independent Living (JP) with my 84 yr old father-in-law in the spring of 2022. The facilities are very nice, and the food is excellent. He sold his house in May 2022 and moved into his apartment in mid-July. There is a substantial "Entrance Payment" required. Per the contract, starting on the 4th month after occupancy, JP amortizes this entrance fee at a rate of 1% per month until the 40th month and they keep that portion. After 44 months of residency, upon death or termination of the agreement, JP will return 50% of the entrance payment. My father-in-law unfortunately passed away in February 2023. Had we been involved with signing the contract, we would have discouraged him from moving into Jenner's Pond. The contract is rather vague regarding the return of the entrance fee after the resident has passed away. Residents are treated as renters and they do not own the apartment. However, per the contract, you do not receive a refund of the entrance payment until they receive a replacement entrance payment. Translation: you do not receive the refund until they re-lease the apartment. You do not have ANY control over this. The part that is vague - it is our assumption that they are still amortizing the entrance payment and will do so up until the 44 months at which point they will return 50% of it to the estate. So, there is NO motivation for them to show or re-lease the apartment. If you or a family member is considering Jenner's Pond, make sure you read the contract, understand the contract and you are willing to live with them holding on to your money. read more

My Father passed away January 3, 2013. He had a condominium at Jenner's Pond, which we as a family were very greatful for, so he could live independently. They moved a new person into my fathers condo in October of 2013. They are telling me that they cannot settle in paying the estate of my fathers the money that they owe for amoritization fee, until the gentleman who is now living in my Fathers condo sells his home at Jenner's Pond. We call that flim flam business ethics, and double dipping. Now I have to not get on with life, not grieve on my timeline. Do not let your parents move in their. They are treating me (55 years old) like I have a problem. Hey Jenner's pond who do you think your future customers are? I will spread the word that you are pond scum. read more
