What care costs later, in each contract

Bridgewater Retirement Community

Type C (fee for service): Independent living residents are not entitled to assisted living or nursing care under the agreement, but their applications get priority over non-residents and they pay the prevailing rates. The Village Monthly Service Fee continues during a temporary transfer.p. 13

Park Village (VMRC)

Type C (fee for service): No care is included and the Residency Agreement promises only priority (not guaranteed) admission to VMRC assisted living and nursing. Transfers pay a per diem rate for Park residents that the fee sheets call discounted, but no amount or discount is stated. The residency fee can be credited toward assisted living or nursing fees only after all other assets are exhausted.p. 22
