Healthcare

What long term care is included in my medical contract?

Under the current medical contract 6, each resident is eligible for a certain number of accumulative no cost days for room and board in the Health Center for any combination of Skilled Nursing or Assisted Living stays. The number of no cost days decreases by 5 for each year that a new resident closes escrow after age of 74 (90 days) to a minimum of 10 days (90+ in age). After the no cost days are exhausted, the resident pays a monthly fee to live in the health center.

Under the present medical contract the current fee is $416.00 per day in either Assisted Living or the Skilled Nursing unit. Note: The current fee is $520.00 per day in Assisted Living or Skilled Nursing for a non-resident or medical exclusion (only relates to a major pre-existing condition to be determined after applicants meet with the Medical Director).
