Days cash on hand659 days (FY2025, interim)p. 2Figures for Lutheran Retirement Center - Salisbury, Inc. (provider only per FS-1; the 659 days reproduce from the Trinity Oaks campus consolidated schedule). No audit was attached: Appendix A, titled 'Audited Financial Statements', holds a management actual-vs-forecast schedule, so these figures and ratios are unaudited. The 659 days count $45.0M of campus cash and investments including the $2.3M statutory operating reserve (about 625 days without it), while Section 29.1 reports only $9.7M of unrestricted cash and investments. Coverage is high because the provider carries little debt (p46). The LSA obligated group, jointly liable for the system's bonds, reported 408 days cash and 4.48x coverage (Table FS-2).566 days (FY2025)p. 2Figures for EveryAge, provider only — one set of ratios covering Piedmont Crossing and Abernethy Laurels together (shared with the Abernethy Laurels filing). Provider-level ratios for EveryAge, which runs both Piedmont Crossing and Abernethy Laurels, so these figures are shared with Abernethy Laurels and are not for this campus alone. The bond obligated group (adding Lake Prince Woods, Providence Place, BellaAge Hickory and others) reported 342 days cash on hand and 2.72x debt service coverage for FY2025 (p44, p47).

Trinity Oaks

Type C (fee for service): Fee-for-service: assisted living and the 115-bed nursing center on campus are charged at their published rates, with no included days or discount. Residents get priority access when a bed is available; on a permanent move they keep paying a reduced monthly fee until their residence is vacated.p. 145

Piedmont Crossing

Type B (modified): Assisted living and nursing are paid at the community's current per diem rates, with a $10-a-day nursing discount for contract holders and 12 non-cumulative nurse visits a year in the monthly fee. 24 of the 104 nursing beds are reserved for contracted residents; if no bed is free, residents get priority application at other EveryAge nursing facilities.p. 27
