Description: This CCRC shares a socioeconomic rung with the Landings, Chatham County’s first gated, golf course–oriented community, although there is no formal connection beyond the fact that the two developments are neighbors on Skidaway Island. For initial investments that range from $221,000 to $579,000 (depending on size/format of housing), residents buy a residential agreement in various designs of freestanding homes, duplexes, or apartments. When residents die or relocate, the bulk of the investment (given certain conditions) is returned to the resident or estate. The facility offers assisted-living options and a nursing home. A set monthly fee buys residents a broad array of amenities, including dining privileges in one of four dining rooms, maintenance, utilities, spa and pool access, scheduled activities, and more.
