What care costs later, in each contract

Wesley Pines Retirement Community

Type B (modified): Each resident gets 6 free days a year of assisted living or nursing care combined, renewing annually and not accumulating, while still paying the independent living monthly fee. After a permanent move the resident pays the assisted living fee or nursing per diem at the published rate; continuing care residents take priority when there is an assisted living waitlist.p. 23

Trinity Landing

Type C (fee for service): Fee-for-service: skilled nursing and memory care are at Trinity Grove, an affiliated 100-bed nursing facility about two miles away, at its published daily rates with no included days or discount. Residents get priority admission if a bed is available and keep paying the monthly fee until their residence is vacated.p. 167
