Application forms are available by emailing, enhome@elkshome.org; telephoning, (540)586-8232 or 1-800-552-4140; or writing to Elks National Home, 931 Ashland Ave, Bedford, VA, 24523.

The amount of the occupancy right fee is $10,000.00 for rooms in buildings A, B, and C, and $5,000.00 for rooms in building H. In the case of an applicant who has a low permanent monthly income, or if his income is from sources that could be liquidated or depleted, an additional amount for a security deposit may be required. Generally, if the applicants permanent monthly income is sufficient to pay all his regular expenses and leave enough for emergencies, prescription medication, medical care, etc., then only the minimum occupancy right fee would be required. The amount of the security deposit, if required, is determined strictly on an individual basis, taking all factors into consideration.

The minimum occupancy right fee is ninety percent (90%) refundable if residency is terminated within the first year for any reason other than death. Each year thereafter, the fee decreases an additional ten percent (10%) of the original amount until it reaches zero. Deductions will be made from any amount to be refunded for any balances due the Home. In the event of the residents death at any time after arrival, the Home immediately earns any remaining balance and there is no refund.

If a resident is required to pay a security deposit in addition to the minimum occupancy right fee, this excess amount is refundable to the resident or his estate upon the residents death or departure from the Home. Deductions will be made from the refund for any expenses incurred or paid for the resident.
