What care costs later, in each contract

The Virginian

Rental: No care is prepaid: the monthly plan 'does not entitle the individual to health care services' (p11). Residents get priority for Health Care Center beds, and a reserve of vacant rooms is kept for residents; outside patients are admitted in limited numbers (p12).p. 12

The Woodlands

Type B (modified): Independent living only. Both the entrance-fee and rental agreements include a total of 5 days of respite care at The Gardens assisted living for the life of the agreement, plus priority admission there; any other assisted living is paid by the resident, and no nursing care is provided.p. 18
