A continuing care contract must be in writing and must meet minimum standards for readability established by the department. Standards must include, but are not limited to, standards on general organization of text, text readability, type size, type style, type spacing, and general appearance of the contract.
A contract clearly must state what portion, if any, of the entrance fee is refundable and nonrefundable. A contract must include a statement that the resident has a right to cancel the contract within thirty days after signing. If the resident cancels within thirty days, all money or property paid or transferred by the resident must be refunded fully, less those costs incurred by the community. If the living unit was available for occupancy, the community may charge a daily rate based on the usual monthly charge for that unit beginning on the eighth day after signing and ending on the day notice of cancellation is given to the community.
