Northeast Florida got ‘fired up’ over the weekend at Moosehaven’s ‘hottest’ event of the season! Many chili lovers, flavor fanatics, and car enthusiasts attended the 13th annual Chili Cook-Off & Car Show. It was a sizzling celebration of hot cars and hotter chili!

 

Talented cook teams battled it out for ‘Chili Champion’ titles while visitors enjoyed river views, craft vendors, a kid’s zone, and live music by Bold City Classics. NASCAR driver Ross Chastain brought the Moose Fraternity No. 1 Show Car and took pictures with fans, and more than 200 classic cars lined the Moosehaven grounds.

 

Thank you to our sponsors for another fantastic event, and big congratulations to all of our Chili Cook-Off participants and winners!

The Ever Changing Face Of Moosehaven Now Offers More For Members!

Brandon Place at Moosehaven has become a reality. Now members will have additional choices for their retirement years. Check out the next step at Moosehaven.

ADMISSIONS

Moosehaven now offers Moose members two choices for admission:  The Traditional Retirement Plan and the Fee-For-Service Plan, referred to as Brandon Place at Moosehaven.  The choices are designed to help meet the various financial needs of Moose members.  Under both plans, applicants must be at least 65 years of age.   For those who wish to enter into the Traditional Retirement Program, members should have at least 15 years of membership and be in good standing.  For Brandon Place applicants, a minimum of six months of membership is required.

Residents under the Traditional Retirement Plan will have their Social Security, Pensions, and any other real or tangible property deposited into their own Retirement Account, managed by Moosehaven.  Admission is not based on how much, or how little a resident has to fund their account.  In the meantime, Moosehaven provides all of their housing needs, clothing, toiletries, campus activities and events, entertainment, transportation, and all levels of medical care.

Brandon Place residents move into independent homes, that are well-appointed with all appliances, blinds, fans, tile and carpet.  Homes come with a security system and are maintenance free to the resident.   Residents must financially qualify to live at Brandon Place, demonstrating they have enough in their financial investments to support them through out their expected lifetime.  Brandon Place residents will continue to manage their own investments.  As their health care needs increase, they will transition to the Moosehaven LifeCare Center.  In the meantime, they enjoy all of the services, amenities, and entertainment that the Moosehaven campus provides.
