Moorings Park is a nationally accredited, nonprofit, Medicare certified community and one of the only A+ S&P and Fitch rated Continuing Care Retirement Communities in the country. Moorings Park has been repeatedly acknowledged as Southwest Florida's premier retirement community for more than 30 years and is the only Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) located in the City of Naples. Moorings Park's holistic approach to living well and continuum of care are provided at a predictable and affordable cost with no increase in monthly fees if a change in the level of care is required.
The Platinum Membership Program is designed to allow non-residents and future residents of Moorings Park to enjoy the amenities and physician services available at Moorings Park’s Goodlette-Frank Road campus and will assist seniors with making informed decisions about their retirement. The Platinum Membership is available for a one-time-only membership fee plus an affordable monthly charge and allows seniors to sample Moorings Park’s amenities and services prior to committing to residency. The membership fee can be applied to residency entrance fees at Moorings Park's 83-acre Goodlette-Frank Road campus, or at the Moorings Park at Grey Oaks campus currently under construction at Airport-Pulling Road and Golden Gate Parkway, once the decision to move into Moorings Park is made.
"For retirees, quality of life is determined by many things, most notably the freedom to enjoy an active lifestyle and the security of knowing their long-term needs will be met," said Moorings Park Chief Executive Officer Dan Lavender. "We feel it is important for seniors to have the opportunity to sample Moorings Park's high-quality continuum of care and lifestyle programs, particularly those who already have an appreciation for what Moorings Park offers and are looking forward to making it their future home. The Platinum Membership has been designed to provide that opportunity."
To provide those considering Moorings Park as their future home with as much flexibility as possible, Platinum Members will receive 24-Month Moorings Assessment Protocol (MAP) protection. All residents of Moorings Park are required to undergo an assessment which qualifies them for Independent Living. Platinum Members may choose to undergo this assessment and defer admission to Moorings Park for up to 24 months from the date of the assessment. This benefit protects the opportunity to secure a residence at Moorings Park.
