What care costs later, in each contract

The Barclay at SouthPark

Type B (modified): No care days are included: residents pay the published Healthcare Center rates with a 10% discount on their first 30 days of care each calendar year (unused days do not carry over), on top of the apartment fee. 102 of the 130 assisted living beds are reserved for residents, with priority for the open beds when those are full.p. 93

The Sharon at SouthPark

Type B (modified): No free days are included. Residents who move permanently to nursing pay a published permanent transfer rate that the statement says is historically discounted from the direct-admission rate ($10,835-$12,070 vs $15,087-$16,184 a month in 2026); temporary stays are $274 a day on top of the monthly fee for the first 90 days. Existing residents have priority for the Medicare-certified beds.p. 107
