Members (residents) help pay for their care by paying a monthly maintenance fee. This fee is assessed based on individual's income (not assets). The ability-to-pay-plan has a maximum charge, currently $929.00 per month, and covers room, food (including special diets and supplements), medication, all levels of medical care, recreation and activities, and any special therapy or treatment prescribed by the attending physician.
Some costs of care are not covered. These include, but may not be limited to, eyeglasses, hearing aids, dentures, prostheses, and special wheelchairs or mechanical devices. Such costs must be paid directly to the providers by the resident or responsible surrogate.
