Breeze Park - St. Charles, Mo.

• Living it up in retirement

Entrance fee: $113,300 (95% refundable)

Monthly fee: $1,831 for independent living; $3,189 to $3,699 for assisted living; $5,820 to $7,380 for nursing care

Highlights: New activity facilities are currently under construction here, and these are expected to be open by late summer. Among the amenities: an indoor pool, a 50-seat movie theater, a bistro and fitness studios. Many residents come here, however, for the facility's holistic and faith-based approach to care--though residents need not be Lutheran or even Christian.
