Admission Process:

1.   An application for admission needs to be
      completed by each individual wishing to
      be considered for admission to the
      Community. A medical evaluation form
      for each individual must be completed by
      your physician and returned with the
      application(s).

2.   After our Admissions Committee has
      reviewed your paperwork and determined
      that our financial criteria is met, you will
      then be asked to meet with the
      Independent Living Center Clinic nurse
      for a medical assessment. If you meet the
      Functional Abilities Criteria, you will be
      invited to pay a refundable deposit of
      $1,000.00 in order to be placed on a
      chronological preferred waiting list. When
      an apartment of the type you wish
      becomes available, if you still meet the
      financial and functional qualifications, you
      will be notified of its availability.
   
3.   Upon notification that an apartment is
      available and you have had the
      opportunity to examine it, you will have
      seven (7) business days to make a
      decision to accept it. If you choose to
      accept it, an additional payment of $9,000
      is due within the next seven (7) business
      days. It is also expected that the
      Occupancy Agreement will be signed
      upon receipt of the payment. You will
      receive the keys to the apartment at the
      time of the signing. A copy of your
      durable power of attorney is required
      when you sign the Occupancy Agreement.
 
4.   Full payment of the entire admission fee
      will be required within sixty (60) days of
      the signing of the Occupancy Agreement.
      A 1% per month interest rate will be
      charged on the outstanding balance after
      sixty (60) days.

5.   Interest at the rate of 1.5% per month will
      be charged on any outstanding monthly
      fee balance.

6.   The monthly fees begin on the date that
      the Occupancy Agreement is signed. The
      monthly fee is charged whether or not the
      apartment is occupied. For a partial
      month, the fee is based on the number of
      days remaining in the month that the
      Occupancy Agreement is signed.
