What care costs later, in each contract

Goodwin House Bailey's Crossroads

Type A (life care): Standard, Modified and 50% Refundable plans: 'You will not be charged an additional fee for nursing services'; ancillary charges and doctors are billed separately. The disclosure (p25) says the monthly fee does change on moving to assisted living, memory support or the Health Care Center for the LTC Insurance and fee-for-service plans.p. 72

Type B (modified): The Long-Term Care Insurance Plan has a discounted entrance fee for residents who hold long-term care insurance. It includes 90 days of assisted living or nursing care not covered by Medicare A over the resident's lifetime; after that the resident pays the private pay rate.p. 96

Type C (fee for service): The 90% Refundable Fee-for-Service plan does not include future assisted living or nursing; the resident is charged the private pay rates for that care and keeps paying the residential monthly fee until the residential apartment is vacated.p. 147

Vinson Hall Retirement Community

Type C (fee for service): Assisted living, nursing and memory care are paid at daily rates with no entrance fee; Vinson Hall and Willow Oak residents get admission priority. The Foundation may help residents who cannot pay, but that help is not contractually guaranteed.p. 144
