Cumberland County Bar Association 32 South Bedford Street Carlisle, PA 17013 Tel: (717) 249-3166 IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA GGNSC CAMP HILL III LP d/b/a GOLDEN LIVING CENTER, CAMP HILL, CIVIL ACTION - EQUITY No. oy- Sqz 3 &?:l l ?. Plaintiff, V. STANLEY COLBERT, Defendant. COMPLAINT AND NOW, COMES, GGNSC Camp Hill III LP d/b/a Golden Living Center, Camp Hill ("Plaintiff"), by and through its attorneys, SCHMER BOGAR LLC, and files the within Complaint against Stanley Colbert ("Defendant"), and in support thereof, provides as follows: 1. Plaintiff is a foreign corporation licensed to do business in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, with its principal office located at 46 Erford Road, Camp Hill, Pennsylvania 17011. 2. Defendant, the son of and legal representative for Rose Colbert, is an adult individual who currently resides at 5583 Mercury Road, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania 17109. 3. On or about October 24, 2008, Defendant applied for the admission of his mother, Rose Colbert ("Ms. Colbert"), to Plaintiff's skilled nursing facility. At that time, Plaintiff and Defendant entered into a written Resident Admission Agreement ("Agreement"), pursuant to which Plaintiff agreed to provide Defendant's mother with skilled nursing services in exchange for Defendant's promise to use Ms. Colbert's income and assets for her welfare, to make prompt payment for the care and services provided to Ms. Colbert, and to establish and maintain Ms. Colbert's eligibility for Medical Assistance benefits. A true and correct copy of the Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit A. 4. After Defendant's mother became a resident of Plaintiffs skilled nursing facility, she apparently became insolvent. As a result, pursuant to the Agreement, Plaintiff notified Defendant that he needed to secure Medical Assistance benefits for Ms. Colbert, and an application for Medical Assistance benefits subsequently was filed on or about March 30, 2009. 5. On May 11, 2009, the application for Medical Assistance benefits was denied because Defendant did not provide the information and documentation required by the Cumberland County Assistance Office ("CAO") to establish and maintain Ms. Colbert's eligibility. See the PA-162 attached hereto as Exhibit B. 6. On June 15, 2009, the Plaintiff filed an appeal of this denial. However, if the Defendant fails to provide the CAO with the information necessary to qualify his mother for Medical Assistance benefits, the appeal will necessarily fail, and Ms. Colbert will be precluded from receiving the Medical Assistance benefits that she is entitled to and the Plaintiff will be deprived of payment on Ms. Colbert's account as bargained for at the time of her admission. COUNTI BREACH OF CONTRACT/ SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE 7. The allegations contained in Paragraphs 1 through 6 are incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth at length. 8. Defendant breached his Agreement with Plaintiff by failing to act in accordance with the terms of the same, as he has failed to use Ms. Colbert's income and assets for her welfare, to make prompt payment for the care and services provided to Ms. Colbert, and to establish and maintain Ms. Colbert's eligibility for Medical Assistance benefits. 9. Because, at all times material hereto, Defendant's mother was financially unable to fully compensate Plaintiff for the services that it has rendered and continues to render to her, 2 Defendant's failure to provide the necessary documentation required by the CAO, to process and approve his mother's application for Medical Assistance benefits, is a critical violation of the terms and conditions of the Agreement. See Exhibit A. 10. Defendant has interfered with Ms. Colbert's right to receive the Medical Assistance benefits she is entitled to, as well as Plaintiff's right to receive payment, via the Medical Assistance benefits process, in accordance with the bargained for Agreement. See Exhibit A. 11. By obstructing the Medical Assistance benefits process, Defendant has irreparably harmed both his mother and the Plaintiff. 12. Only a decree of specific performance will adequately protect the interests of Plaintiff and provide it with the benefits and/or protections promised under the Agreement. WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully requests that this Honorable Court order Defendant to specifically perform his obligations under the Agreement and to produce the information and documents to the Cumberland County Assistance Office required to establish and maintain the eligibility of his mother, Rose Colbert, for Medical Assistance benefits. COUNT II STATUTORY DUTY OF SUPPORT 13. The allegations contained in Paragraphs 1 through 12 are incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth at length. 14. Defendant Stanley Colbert is the son of Rose Colbert. 15. Upon information and belief, at all times material hereto, Rose Colbert has been indigent. 16. At all times material hereto, Defendant has had a statutory duty to financially support his mother, Rose Colbert. See 23 Pa. C.S. § 4603(a). 3 17. At all times material hereto, Defendant has failed to financially support his mother. 18. The Defendant's statutory duty to support his mother must reasonably include the duty to assist with securing financial support through the Medical Assistance benefits system and the duty to not actively work against Medical Assistance benefits approval. 19. At all times material hereto, in violation of 23 Pa. C.S. §4603(a), Defendant failed to care for, maintain or financially assist his mother by refusing to provide the information and documents requested by the CAO to determine his mother's eligibility for Medical Assistance benefits. WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully requests that this Honorable Court order Defendant to specifically perform his statutory duty, and to produce the information and documents to the Cumberland County Assistance Office required to establish and maintain the eligibility of his mother, Rose Colbert, for Medical Assistance benefits.

Before signing the Agreement, please continue to ask questions until you believe that you understand the Agreement. 1. NONDISCRIMINATION STATEMENT - The Facility welcomes all persons in need of its services and does not discriminate on the basis of age, disability, race, color, national origin, ancestry, religion, or sex. The Facility does not discriminate among persons based on their sources of payment. H. CONSENT FOR TREATMENT A. Nursing Facility Services - By signing this Agreement, the Resident consents to the Facility providing routine nursing and other health care services as directed by the attending physician. From time to time, the Facility may participate in training programs for persons seeking licensure or certification as health care workers. In the course of this participation, care may be rendered to the Resident by such trainees under supervision as required by law. In addition, the Facility may use outside contractors to assist in providing routine nursing and other health care services. Consent to routine nursing care provided by the Facility shall include consent for care by such trainees and contractors. B. Physician Services - The Resident acknowledges that he or she is under the medical care of a personal attending physician and that the Facility provides services based on the general and specific instructions of this physician. The Resident has a right to select his or her own attending physician. If, however, the Resident does not select an attending physician or is unable to select an attending physician, an attending physician may be designated by the Facility, or in accordance with State law. The Resident recognizes and agrees that all physicians providing services to the Resident, including those designated by the Facility, are independent contractors. The Resident recognizes and agrees that such physicians are not associates or agents of the Facility and that the Facility's liability for any physician's act or omission is limited. The Resident shall be solely responsible for payment of all charges of any physician who renders care to the Resident in the Facility, unless the charges are covered by a third party payer. C. Right To Refuse Services - The Resident has the right to refuse treatment and to revoke consent for treatment. The Resident also has the right to be informed of the medical consequences of such refusal or revocation of consent, and to be informed of alternate treatments available. Where, in the opinion of the attending physician or by judgment of a court of law, the Resident is determined to be mentally incompetent to make a decision regarding refusal of treatment, the decision to refuse treatment may be made by a Legal Representative or other surrogate decision maker, subject to State and Federal law. III. PHOTOGRAPHS - The Resident agrees to allow the Facility to photograph or videotape the Resident as a means of identification or for health related purposes. The photographs or videotapes may also be used to help locate the Resident in the event of an unauthorized absence from the Facility, but shall otherwise be kept confidential. If the Facility intends to use the photograph or videotape for purposes other than those noted above, the Facility shall get written permission from the Resident in advance of such use. The Resident retains the right to refuse the taking of a photograph at any time. IV. ARBITRATION - The Resident acknowledges that disputes under this Agreement may be submitted to arbitration, if the Resident elects to do so, by signing a separate agreement executed 1 between the parties. Agreeing to arbitration is not a condition of admission or continuing care. V. PRIVACY ACT NOTIFICATION STATEMENT - Skilled nursing facilities who contract with the Medicare and Medical Assistance Programs (hereinafter referred to as "Medical Assistance Program" or "Program") are required to conduct comprehensive, accurate, standardized, and reproducible assessments of each resident's functional capacity and health status. As of June 22, 1998, all skilled nursing and nursing facilities are required to establish a database of resident assessment information and to electronically transmit this information to the State. The State is then required to transmit the data to the Federal Central Office Minimum Data Set (MDS) repository of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. These data are protected under the requirements of the Federal Privacy Act of 1974 and MDS Long Term Care Systems of Records. The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services is authorized to collect these data by Sections 1819(f), 1919(f), 1819(b)(3)(A) and 1864 of the Social Security Act. The purpose of this data collection is to aid in the administration of the survey and certification of Medicare/Medical Assistance long-term care facilities and to study the effectiveness and quality of care given in those facilities. This system will also support regulatory, reimbursement, policy, and research functions. This system will collect the minimum amount of personal data needed to accomplish its stated purpose. The information collected will be entered into the Long-Term Care Minimum Data Set (LTC MDS) system of records, System No. 09-70-1516. Information from this system may be disclosed, under specific circumstances, to: (1) a congressional office from the record of an individual in response to an inquiry from the congressional office made at the request of that individual; (2) the Bureau of Census; (3) the Department of Justice; (4) an individual or organization for a research, evaluation, or epidemiological project related to the prevention of disease or disability, or the restoration of health; (5) analyzing data, or to detect fraud or abuse; (6) an agency of a State Government for effectiveness, and/or quality of health care services provided in the State; (7) another benefits program funded in whole or in part with Federal funds or to detect fraud or abuse; (8) Peer Review Organizations to perform Title XI or Title XVIII functions; (9) services for preventing fraud or abuse under specific conditions. You should be aware that P.L. 100-603, the Computer Matching and Privacy Protection Act of 1988, permits the government to verify information by way of computer matches. Collection of the Social Security Number is voluntary; however, failure to provide this information may result in the loss of Medicare benefits. The Social Security Number will be used to verify the association of information to the appropriate individual. For nursing home residents residing in a certified Medicare/Medical Assistance nursing facility the requested information is mandatory because of the need to assess the effectiveness and quality of care given in certified facilities and to assess the appropriateness of provided services. If a nursing home does not submit the required data it cannot be reimbursed for any Medicare/Medical Assistance services. VI. RESIDENT'S PERSONAL PROPERTY A. Safety Of Resident's Personal Property - The Facility strongly discourages the keeping of valuable jewelry, papers, large sums of money, or other items considered of value in the Facility. The Facility shall make reasonable efforts to safeguard the Resident's property/valuables, which the Resident chooses to keep in his or her possession. The Resident agrees to inform the Facility in writing of all personal property upon admission. If, at any time during the Resident's stay, new items of value are brought to or removed from the Resident's possessions in the Facility, the Resident also agrees to so 2 inform the Facility Executive Director or designee. B. Personal Property Of Resident Upon Discharge - The Facility shall make reasonable efforts to safeguard the Resident's personal belongings after discharge. The Facility, however, shall not be liable for any damage to or loss of the Resident's property. The Facility may dispose of any property left by the Resident if not claimed within thirty (30) days of discharge or transfer, or in accordance with applicable State law. VII. PERSONAL FUNDS A. Right To Manage Own Funds - The Resident has a right to manage his or her own personal funds. If the Resident wants assistance with the management of personal funds, the Facility shall assist if requested to do so in writing. B. Resident Trust Fund Authorization- At the Resident's written request (see Resident Trust Fund Authorization form at the back of this Agreement), the Facility will hold, safeguard, manage and account for these funds. C. Interest - The Facility shall deposit funds in excess of Fifty Dollars ($50.00) in an interest-bearing account insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) that is separate from any Facility operating accounts. All interest earned on the Resident's, funds shall be credited to the Resident's account. The Facility shall have the option of depositing funds of less than Fifty Dollars ($50.00) in one of the following: a non-interest bearing account, an interest bearing account, or petty cash fund. The Facility shall inform the Resident as to how his or her funds are being held. The Facility's policy is to maintain all Resident funds in a separate account, except for a nominal amount maintained in a petty cash fund for the Resident's convenience. D. Accounting - The Facility shall have a system that ensures a complete and separate accounting, based on generally accepted accounting principles, of the personal funds deposited with the Facility by each Resident or on his or her behalf. This system shall also ensure that the Resident's funds are not - commingled with the Facility's funds or with any other funds besides those of other Residents. In addition to the required quarterly accounting, the Facility shall provide individual financial records at the written request of the Resident. E. Medical Assistance Residents - The personal fund balances of Residents who receive Medical Assistance Program benefits must remain within a certain dollar range to satisfy State and Federal laws. The Facility shall notify a Medical Assistance Program Resident if his or her account balance is within Two Hundred Dollars ($200.00) of the Federal Supplemental Security Income (SSI) limit. The Facility shall also notify the Resident if the account balance, in addition to the Resident's known non-exempt assets, reaches the SSI resource limit. A balance in excess of this limit may cause the Resident to lose eligibility for Medical Assistance or SSI. F. Refunds - If a Resident who has personal funds deposited with the Facility expires, the Facility shall refund the Resident's account balance within thirty (30) days and provide a full accounting of these funds to the individual, probate jurisdiction administering the Resident's estate, or other entity or individual, as required by State law or regulation. Upon discharge, the balance of funds in the trust account shall be promptly refunded in accordance with the Facility's Refund Policy that is available for review in the Facility's Business Office. 3 G. Security of Funds - The Facility shall ensure the security of all personal funds deposited with the Facility and shall not take money from a Medicare or Medical Assistance Program Resident's personal funds for any item or service for which payment can be made under the Programs. VIII. THE RESIDENT'S DUTIES A. Facility's Rules And Regulations - The Resident agrees that the Facility may, to maintain orderly and economical operations, adopt reasonable rules and regulations to govern the conduct and responsibilities of the Resident. The Resident agrees to follow those rules and regulations and hereby acknowledges that he or she has been given a written copy of such rules and regulations. It is understood that the rules and regulations may be amended from time to time as the Facility may require. Any changes to the rules and regulations shall be given to the Resident in writing. B. Resident Grievances - Residents are urged to bring any grievance concerning the Facility to the attention of the Facility Executive Director or designee. The Facility also offers a toll-free "Hotline" telephone number through which grievances can be registered anonymously. This number is 1-800-572- 9981. Residents also have the right to contact the State Facility licensing agency, the long-term care ombudsman, or both, to register grievances against the Facility. C. Diet - The Resident understands that his or her diet is medically prescribed and, therefore, must be monitored by the Facility. The Resident agrees to consult with Nursing or Dietary staff regarding food or beverages brought into the Facility for the Resident's benefit. D. Medications - No medications or drugs may be brought upon Facility premises unless the medications or drugs are labeled according to the requirements of State and Federal law. Packaging of medications must be compatible with the Facility's medication distribution system. All drugs or medications brought into the Facility shall be immediately delivered to the nurses' station. E. Care Of Facility's Property - To preserve the value of the Facility's property for future use, the Resident agrees to use due care to avoid damaging the Facility's property and premises. The Resident shall be responsible for repair or replacement of the Facility's property damaged or destroyed by the Resident. However, the Resident shall not be responsible for such damage as is to be expected from ordinary wear and tear. F. Care Of The Resident's Room - The Facility encourages the Resident to have a home-like environment and will attempt to accommodate all reasonable requests to individualize Resident rooms. For safety reasons, the Facility must concur with any addition or rearrangement of furniture, hanging of pictures, posters, or other similar activities. IX. PROHIBITION AGAINST THIRD PARTY GUARANTOR -FEDERAL AND STATE LAWS PROHIBIT A NURSING HOME FROM REQUIRING A THIRD PARTY GUARANTEE OF PAYMENT TO THE FACILITY AS A CONDITION OF ADMISSION, EXPEDITED ADMISSION OR CONTINUED STAY IN THE FACILITY. HOWEVER, A FACILITY MAY REQUIRE AN INDIVIDUAL WHO HAS LEGAL ACCESS TO THE RESIDENT'S INCOME OR RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO PAY FOR FACILITY CARE TO SIGN A CONTRACT, WITHOUT INCURRING PERSONAL FINANCIAL LIABILITY FOR THE RESIDENT'S COSTS OF CARE, TO PROVIDE FACILITY PAYMENT FROM THE RESIDENT'S INCOME OR RESOURCES. A X. AGENT AND/OR LEGAL REPRESENTATIVE A. Agent - For the purposes of this Agreement, an Agent is a person who manages, uses or controls funds/assets that may be legally used to pay the Resident's charges or who otherwise acts on behalf of the Resident. The Agent's financial obligations are limited to the amount of the funds received or held by the Agent for the Resident. The Agent assumes no responsibility to pay for the costs of the Resident's care out of the Agent's personal funds. However, as a necessary party to this Agreement, the Agent is contractually bound by the terms of this Agreement and may become personally liable for failure to perform duties under the Agreement. If the Agent has control of or access to the Resident's income and/or assets, the Agent agrees to use these funds for the Resident's welfare. The Agent is required to produce financial documentation as proof of the Resident's ability to pay for charges when due and to make prompt payment for care and services provided to the Resident as specified in the terms of this Agreement. THE AGENT IS REQUIRED TO SIGN THIS AGREEMENT AND AGREES TO DISTRIBUTE TO THE FACILITY, FROM THE RESIDENT'S INCOME OR RESOURCES, PAYMENT WHEN DUE FOR THE ITEMS/SERVICES PROVIDED TO THE RESIDENT. Wherever this Agreement refers to the Resident's financial obligations under this agreement, "Resident" shall be construed to include not only the Resident, but also the obligations of Agent to act on behalf of the Resident. B. Legal Representative - For the purposes of this Agreement, Legal Representative is defined as a person recognized under State law as having the authority to make health care and/or financial decisions for the Resident. The Legal Representative may or may not be court appointed. A Legal Representative may be an attorney-in-fact acting under a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care, guardian, conservator, next-of-kin, or other person allowed to act for the Resident under State Law. If Legal Representative status has been conferred by a court of law or through appointment by the Resident, copies of documents verifying such status must be provided to the Facility at the time of admission. XI. PAYMENT INFORMATION A. Obligation To Pay Timely - The Facility charges for services provided shall be billed monthly to the Resident. These charges are due and payable by the tenth (10th) day of each month or, in the case of a notice of a rate change, within ten (10) days of mailing of the notice. If payment is not received timely, the account balance is considered past due and the Facility may add a late charge to the Resident's account. This late charge shall be assessed on the monthly balance at the lesser of the monthly rate of 1.5% (one and one-half percent) or the maximum amount permitted by law. This late charge does not alter any obligations of the Facility or Resident under this Agreement. In addition, under Federal law, failure to pay any amount due the Facility is grounds for discharge of the Resident from the Facility. If a Resident is required to vacate for failure to pay, the Facility shall provide advance notice as set forth under the Transfer and Discharge section of this Agreement. B. Credit Card Charges - The Facility accepts MasterCard and VISA. If the Resident would like the convenience of paying amounts due each month through one of these options, the Resident must provide the needed information and authorization on the Credit Card Authorization form at the back of this Agreement. The Resident recognizes that, unless the Resident has authorized the use of MasterCard or VISA, the Facility does not offer credit or accept installment payments. The Facility's acceptance of a partial payment does not limit the Facility's rights under this Agreement. C. Fee For Returned Checks - A service fee of $25.00 (twenty-five dollars) or the actual fee charged by the bank, whichever is greater, will be charged for any returned check. 5 D. Potential Personal Liability Of Agent - Agent (includes any Legal Representative serving as the Resident's Agent) shall pay the Facility from the Agent's own resources as liquidated damages an amount equivalent to any payments or funds of the Resident which are available to pay for the Resident's care, which the Agent withholds, misappropriates for personal use, or otherwise does not turn over to Facility for payment of Resident's financial obligations under this Agreement, or an amount equivalent to revenue lost by the Facility due to the Agent's failure to cooperate in the Medical Assistance Program eligibility or re-determination process as required under this Agreement. XII. PRIVATE PAY RESIDENTS - A Resident is considered private pay when no State or Federal program is paying for the Resident's room and board. Private Pay Residents may have private insurance or another third party which pays all or some of the Resident's charges. A. Monthly Rate - The Facility's private pay monthly rate is determined in part by the type of room assigned. For this reason, the rate may change if the Resident moves to a different type of room. The Resident agrees to pay the Facility, on or before the day of admission, an amount no less than the first full month's room and board charge at the private pay monthly rate. For each additional month's stay, the Resident agrees to pay the Facility in advance on or before the tenth (10th) day of the month. Any unused advance payment shall be refunded if the Resident becomes covered by the Medical Assistance or Medicare Programs or leaves the Facility before the end of the month. In this case, the Resident shall be refunded a prorated daily room rate based on the total number of days in the calendar month during which the stay occurs. The Resident will be provided with a general list of supplies and services included in the Facility's monthly private pay rate and those supplies and services which are not covered by the monthly private pay rate for which the Resident will be separately charged. A more detailed list of charges for supplies and services not covered by the monthly private pay rate is maintained in the Business Office and is available for review during normal business hours. B. Rate Adjustments - The Facility shall provide advance written notice of any monthly rate adjustment. However, if at any time the Resident's condition requires the Facility to change the room or level of care, the Resident's monthly rate may be changed without prior notice, unless such notice is required by State law. When a notice of a rate adjustment is received, the Resident may choose to end this Agreement. Any rate increase shall be considered as agreed to by all parties when a notice is mailed, unless the Facility is notified to the contrary in writing within ten (10) calendar days of the date of the notice. If the Resident does not agree to the rate increase, the Resident agrees to leave the Facility no later than the day before the rate increase becomes effective. If the Resident fails to leave by this date, the Resident shall be considered to have consented to the increase for the duration of the Resident's stay. C. Primary Responsibility for Payment - Notwithstanding the source of funds for payment for the Facility's charges, the Resident remains primarily responsible for paying all Facility charges, including any charges not covered by a third party payer, unless expressly prohibited by a contractual agreement between the Facility and payer. Non-covered charges may include any coinsurance and/or deductible amounts required by a third party payer. D. Communicating Changes in Assets - It is essential for the Resident to communicate to the Facility any changes in the Resident's assets or resources within ten (10) days of knowledge of the changes in financial status. Upon request by the Facility, the Resident shall provide the required information to the Facility within ten days. If the Resident runs out of private monies, it is important to locate alternative payment sources to pay for his or her uninterrupted stay in the Facility. Generally, when private funds are depleted, the Resident applies for Medical Assistance, and application-processing time can be lengthy. The Resident agrees to inform the Facility when the value of his/her remaining assets are within three (3) months of being reduced to an amount that, when combined with the 6 Resident's monthly income, is no longer sufficient to pay for the cost of care and services. If the Resident's private funds are exhausted during the Resident's stay, and Medicaid payment is available for the Resident, the Facility shall accept Medicaid payments on behalf of the Resident. E. Discharge Of Resident - The Facility shall not transfer or evict the Resident solely as a result of the Resident changing his or her manner of payment from Private or Medicare to Medical Assistance, unless the Facility is not certified for Medical Assistance. XIII. MEDICAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM RESIDENT - A Medical Assistance Program Resident is one who receives benefits from the State Medical Assistance Program for a majority of his or her Room & Board charges. The Program may or may not cover charges for additional services/items provided by the Facility, depending on State law. Medicaid eligibility is a requirement for Medical Assistance. A. Applying For Medical Assistance - The Facility makes no guarantee that the Resident's care will be covered by Medicare, Medical Assistance, or any third party insurance or other reimbursement source. The Facility, its agents and associates are hereby released from any liability or responsibility for any claim relating to the failure to obtain such coverage. B. Qualifying For Medical Assistance - The Resident should learn if the Medicaid eligibility requirement is met at the time of admission. If the Resident elects coverage under the Medical Assistance Program, the Resident agrees to act as quickly as possible to establish and maintain eligibility. These actions must include, but are not limited to: (1) timely completion and submission, if applicable, of Resident's application, and (2) taking any and all steps necessary to ensure that the Resident's assets are appropriately spent down and maintained within the allowable limits. The Resident agrees that the Medical Assistance office may release to the Facility any information submitted by the Resident in pursuit of eligibility so that the Facility may assist with and ascertain the status of the application process. C. Providing Application Information And Keeping The Facility Informed - The Resident agrees to provide all of the information necessary for completion of the Medical Assistance Program application and of any subsequent Program eligibility re-determinations in compliance with the Program deadlines. The Resident certifies that any financial information regarding the Resident's income and assets provided is complete and accurate. The Resident agrees to keep the Facility informed of all communication between the Resident and the Medical Assistance agency, no less often than weekly and of the status and progress of the application. The Resident agrees to provide the Facility with copies of any information necessary for the appropriate State agency to process the application and any later eligibility re-determinations. D. Transferring Assets - If the Resident transfers assets, this transfer may disqualify the Resident for Medical Assistance and/or cause a discontinuance of the Resident's Program benefits. The Resident acknowledges that this may result in charge to the Resident for services not paid for by the Program and/or in discharge of the Resident due to non-payment. E. Resident's Share of Cost - The Medical Assistance Program reviews the available monthly income of all Medical Assistance applicants. As a result, most Medical Assistance Residents are required to pay for a reasonable share of the cost of their care, referred to as Share of Cost, Private Portion, Patient Liability, Patient Resource, or similar designation. Payment of that share is the responsibility of the Resident. The State can change the Resident's share of cost at its discretion. Changes in the Resident's Share of Cost must be communicated to the Facility on a timely basis. 7 F. Continuing Payment of Facility Charges Pending Eligibility - When an application for Medical Assistance has been filed, the Resident agrees that while the Resident's application is "pending," the Resident's estimated Share of Cost shall be paid to the Facility on or before the tenth (10th) day of each month. Once the Resident is determined to be eligible for Medical Assistance, the Resident's Share of Cost shall be paid to the Facility on or before the tenth day of each month. If the Resident is retroactively approved for Medical Assistance, previous payments made by the Resident which are covered by Medical Assistance shall be refunded promptly in accordance with the Facility's refund policy which can be reviewed at the Facility's Business Office. Resident and Agent understand that, after the Share of Cost is established by Medical Assistance, failure to pay the Share of Cost may result in the Resident's discharge from the Facility. G. Daily Rate Payment - On admission, the Resident shall be provided with a list of supplies and services generally paid for by the Medical Assistance Program, and those supplies and services not paid for by the Program for which the Resident will be separately charged. A detailed list of charges for supplies and services available in the Facility, but not covered by the daily rate, is maintained in the Business Office and is available for review during normal business hours. H. Termination Of Coverage - A Resident who remains in the Facility after Medical Assistance coverage has expired or been retroactively terminated or denied must pay Facility charges as a Private Pay Resident. In this event, the Resident shall be charged based on the private rates, charges and terms in effect at the time of service. 1. Designation Of Facility As Representative Payee - Resident and Agent agree that, in the event the Resident become delinquent in payment of the share of cost obligation, Resident shall arrange for the designation of the Facility as "Representative Payee" of the Resident for any Social Security related benefits or other income sources of the Resident. Payments made from such income sources shall be applied to the Resident's outstanding share of cost amount. In the event that the Agent fails to pay the share of cost from the Resident's funds, the Facility may also notify the appropriate State or Federal agency of this nonpayment. XIV. MEDICARE RESIDENT - A Medicare Resident is one who receives benefits from the Federal Medicare Program for his or her nursing home care. Some additional items and services may be covered by Medicare. A. Medicare Coverage - On admission, the Resident shall be provided with an oral explanation and a written list of supplies and services generally paid by the Medicare program, and those supplies and services not paid for by the Medicare program for which the Resident will be separately charged. A detailed list of charges for supplies and services available in the Facility but not covered under the Medicare program, including the daily coinsurance rate, is maintained in the Business Office and is available for review during normal business hours. B. Limited Coverage - Medicare coverage is established by Federal guidelines and not by the Facility. Medicare coverage is limited in that only a specified level of care is covered for a specified number of days (benefit period). If the Resident no longer meets Medicare coverage criteria, coverage can be ended before the use of all allotted days in the current benefit period. C. Expiration Of Benefits - When Medicare coverage expires, the Resident may remain in the Facility if private pay or other payment arrangements have been made. If the Resident wishes to be discharged from the Facility upon expiration of Medicare benefits, he or she must so advise the Facility at the time of the Resident's admission or readmission. If the Resident intends to become private pay when 8 Medicare benefits expire, the Resident agrees to pay in advance for one month's room and board at the private pay monthly rate when the Resident changes to private pay status. With the exception of the private portion, if applicable, no advance payment is required from Medicare Residents who convert to Medical Assistance. D. Coinsurance And Deductibles - The Resident is responsible for payment of any Medicare coinsurance and/or deductibles except as covered by the Medical Assistance Program for dually eligible residents. XV. TRANSFERS AND DISCHARGES A. Notice - The Facility shall give notice to the Resident and, if known, a family member or Legal Representative of the Resident of a transfer or discharge initiated by the facility. Where legally required, this notice shall be given at least thirty (30) days prior to the Resident's transfer or discharge. In cases where the safety or health of the Resident or other individuals in the Facility may be endangered or if other legal reasons exist, notice may be given as soon as practicable before transfer or discharge. The reason(s) for the transfer/discharge shall be provided at the time of notice of transfer/discharge. Notice will also include information regarding the right to appeal a transfer/discharge. B. Reasons for Discharge - The Facility shall only transfer or discharge a Resident under the following conditions. The Resident may be transferred/discharged if it is necessary for the Resident's welfare and the Resident's needs cannot be met in the Facility. The Resident may also be transferred/discharged because the Resident's health has improved sufficiently so the Resident no longer needs the services provided by the Facility. The Resident may be transferred/discharged because the safety of individuals in the Facility is endangered or because the health of individuals in the Facility would otherwise be endangered. The Resident may be transferred/discharged because the Resident has failed, after reasonable and appropriate notice, to pay for (or to have paid under Medicare or Medical Assistance) a stay at the Facility. The Resident may be transferred/discharged because the Facility ceases to operate. XVI. BED-HOLDS - In the event that the Resident is temporarily absent from the Facility for hospitalization or therapeutic leave, the Resident may request that the Facility hold open the Resident's bed during this time. This is known as a "bed-hold." The Resident and a family member or legal representative shall be given written notice of the bed-hold option at the time of the hospitalization or therapeutic leave. A. Medical Assistance Residents - If the Resident's care is paid for under the Medical Assistance Program, the Program may pay for a certain number of bed-hold days. If the Resident's therapeutic leave exceeds the bed-hold period paid for under the Program, the Resident may request an additional bed-hold period from the Facility by agreeing to pay the applicable daily rate. Otherwise, the Resident shall be readmitted upon the first availability of a bed in a non-private room as long as the Resident: 1) requires the services provided by the Facility; and 2) is eligible for Medical Assistance nursing services. B. Private Pay and Medicare Residents- Any Private Pay or Medicare Resident may request a bed-hold from the Facility. A Resident's private insurance may or may not pay for bed-holds. The Medicare program does not reimburse for bed-holds. However, if the Medicare Resident is also Medical Assistance Program eligible, that Program may pay for a certain number of bed-hold days. Otherwise, a Private Pay or Medicare Resident requesting a bed-hold must pay the Facility's prorated private monthly rate during the bed-hold period. 9 XVH. RESIDENT'S RIGHTS AND FACILITY POLICY UNDER THE FEDERAL SELF- DETERMINATION ACT A. Right To Make Decisions Regarding Care -The Facility recognizes the right of each Resident to make decisions regarding his or her care. Where a Resident is incompetent, the Facility recognizes the Resident's right to have these decisions made on his/her behalf by a substitute decision maker in accordance with State law. B. Right To Formulate An Advance Directive- The Facility recognizes the right of each Resident to have an advance directive and will honor advance directives developed in accordance with State law and consistent with the level of care the Facility is licensed to provide. An advance directive is a written document that states choices for health care and/or names someone to make those choices. These choices may include the refusal of certain types of care. A Living Will and a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care are examples of advance directives. Questions about the Facility's policies regarding health care decision-making and/or advance directives may be presented to the Executive Director. Questions regarding whether to execute an advance directive or about its content should be discussed with the Resident's family, physician and/or attorney. C. An Advance Directive Is Not Required As A Condition Of Admission Or Continued Stay - An advance directive is not necessary in order to be admitted to or to continue to reside in the Facility. However, if the Resident has an advance directive, he or she must make it known to the Executive Director or designee so that it can be reviewed and made a part of the medical record. If the resident is incapacitated at the time of admission, the advance directive information shall be provided to family members or other Resident representatives. However, if the Resident later regains competency, the Facility will provide such information directly to the Resident. XVHI. CHARGES FOR COPIES OF MEDICAL RECORDS -The Facility may charge the Resident for copies of his/her medical record in accordance with either state prescribed rates or the rate commonly charged in the Facility's community. XIX. SOLE AGREEMENT- This Agreement is the only Admission Agreement between the Facility and the parties. Changes to this Agreement are valid only if made in writing and signed by all parties. If changes in State or Federal law make any part of this Agreement invalid, the remaining terms shall stand as a valid Agreement. XX. ASSIGNABILITY - The right of the Resident to reside at the Facility is personal and not assignable. The Resident may not transfer his or her rights under this Agreement to any other person. XXL INTEGRATION - The Parties understand and expressly agree that this Agreement supersedes all other prior discussions, statements, representations, promises, understandings, and agreements between the parties, whether written or oral, and therefore they are of no further force and effect. Because this is a fully integrated agreement, the only discussions, statements, representations, promises, understandings, or agreements that are or will be binding on any of the parties to this Agreement or their employees, affiliates, contractors, agents, or representatives are those expressly set forth in writing in this Agreement, or in other written agreements entered into at the same time as, or subsequent to, this Agreement. in 17177637842 golden living center cam 07:49:01 a.m. 07-15-2009 3122 RESIDENT-SPECIFIC INFORMATION XXH_ Payer So s Facility accepts the following types of payments: }fib.

STANLEY COLBERT, Respondent. CIVIL ACTION - EQUITY No. o 1- 5 7 013 PETITION FOR PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION AND NOW, COMES, GGNSC Camp Hill III LP d/b/a Golden Living Center - Camp Hill, ("Petitioner"), by and through its attorneys, SCHUTJER BOGAR LLC, and files the within Petition for Preliminary Injunction against Stanley Colbert ("Respondent"), pursuant to Pa. R.C.P. § 1531, and, in support thereof, avers: 1. On or about August 4, 2009, Petitioner filed its Complaint against Respondent. See the Complaint attached hereto as Exhibit 1. 2. The Complaint sets forth an equitable claim against Respondent relating to his breach of the Resident Admission Agreement ("Agreement") that he signed in conjunction with the admission of his mother, Rose Colbert ("Ms. Colbert"), to Petitioner's skilled nursing facility. The Complaint also sets forth an equitable claim against Respondent for breach of his statutory duty to support Ms. Colbert, his mother, under Pa. 23 Pa. C.S. § 4603(a). See the Agreement attached to the Complaint as Exhibit A. 3. Specifically, the Complaint alleges that Respondent breached the Agreement by failing to establish and maintain Ms. Colbert's eligibility for Medical Assistance benefits, i. e. his refusal to provide the necessary verification documentation to the Cumberland County ? t Assistance Office ("CAO") to determine the eligibility of his mother, Ms. Colbert, for Medical Assistance benefits. See Exhibit 1 hereto. 4. Respondent's continued failure to comply with the terms of the Agreement and provide the verification information required by the CAO to render a decision on his mother's eligibility for Medical Assistance benefits has resulted in a denial of Ms. Colbert's application for Medical Assistance benefits. See the Notice attached to the Complaint as Exhibit B. 5. Respondent's failure to provide the verification documentation that the CAO required to process and approve his mother's application for Medical Assistance benefits and the resulting denial of said benefits, is in breach of the Agreement and interferes with Ms. Colbert's right to receive Medical Assistance benefits and Petitioner's rights to be compensated, by way of the Medical Assistance benefits, for the services it has provided to Ms. Colbert. See Exhibit A to the Complaint. 6. Additionally, the Complaint alleges that, pursuant to 23 Pa.C.S. §4603(a), Respondent breached his statutory duty of support with respect to Ms. Colbert, which stems from his failure to assist with securing financial support for his mother, through the Medical Assistance benefits system, by providing the necessary financial documentation to the CAO to determine her eligibility for benefits. See Exhibit 1. 7. The Respondent's statutory duty of support includes the duty to not actively work against Medical Assistance benefits approval. 8. The very nature of the Respondent's breach, i.e., the failure of Respondent to produce the information and documents requested by the CAO to determine the eligibility of Ms. Colbert for Medical Assistance benefits, presents an issue of immediate and irreparable harm to Petitioner, as Petitioner cannot realize the benefit of the bargain promised to it under the I t Agreement - specifically, its right to be compensated for the skilled nursing services it has provided to Respondent's mother - unless Respondent provides the CAO with the documentation it needs to process and approve Ms. Colbert's application for Medical Assistance benefits. 9. The requested injunction would restore the parties to the status quo as it existed immediately prior to Respondent's breach of the Agreement and breach of his statutory duty of support. 10. Greater injury would result from the denial of the requested injunction than from the granting of the same, because, absent the injunction, without the verification documentation necessary to secure Medical Assistance benefits, the CAO's denial of Ms. Colbert's application for Medical Assistance benefits will stand, and Ms. Colbert's right to receive those benefits and Petitioner's ability to receive compensation for the skilled nursing services it has provided under the Agreement will be forever lost. 11. Petitioner's right to relief is clear. See Exhibit A to the Complaint. 12. Petitioner lacks an adequate remedy at law, as upon information and belief, at all times material hereto, Ms. Colbert has been financially unable to fully compensate Petitioner for the services that it has rendered to her. 13. A bond in the amount of $100.00 should be adequate in the event that it is later determined that the issuance of the instant petition was in error. WHEREFORE, Petitioner respectfully requests that the Court schedule a hearing on its request for injunctive relief and thereafter issue a decree ordering Respondent's specific performance of his contractual and statutory duties.

STANLEY COLBERT, Defendant. COMPLAINT AND NOW, COMES, GGNSC Camp Hill III LP d/b/a Golden Living Center, Camp Hill ("Plaintiff'), by and through its attorneys, SCHUTJER BOGAR LLC, and files the within Complaint against Stanley Colbert ("Defendant"), and in support thereof, provides as follows: 1. Plaintiff is a foreign corporation licensed to do business in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, with its principal office located at 46 Erford Road, Camp Hill, Pennsylvania 17011. 2. Defendant, the son of and legal representative for Rose Colbert, is an adult individual who currently resides at 5583 Mercury Road, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania 17109. 3. On or about October 24, 2008, Defendant applied for the admission of his mother, Rose Colbert ("Ms. Colbert"), to Plaintiff's skilled nursing facility. At that time, Plaintiff and Defendant entered into a written Resident Admission Agreement ("Agreement"), pursuant to which Plaintiff agreed to provide Defendant's mother with skilled nursing services in exchange for Defendant's promise to use Ms. Colbert's income and assets for her welfare, to make prompt payment for the care and services provided to Ms. Colbert, and to establish and maintain Ms. Colbert's eligibility for Medical Assistance benefits. A true and correct copy of the Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit A. 4. After Defendant's mother became a resident of Plaintiff's skilled nursing facility, she apparently became insolvent. As a result, pursuant to the Agreement, Plaintiff notified Defendant that he needed to secure Medical Assistance benefits for Ms. Colbert, and an application for Medical Assistance benefits subsequently was filed on or about March 30, 2009. 5. On May 11, 2009, the application for Medical Assistance benefits was denied because Defendant did not provide the information and documentation required by the Cumberland County Assistance Office ("CAO") to establish and maintain Ms. Colbert's eligibility. Seethe PA-162 attached hereto as Exhibit B. 6. On June 15, 2009, the Plaintiff filed an appeal of this denial. However, if the Defendant fails to provide the CAO with the information necessary to qualify his mother for Medical Assistance benefits, the appeal will necessarily fail, and Ms. Colbert will be precluded from receiving the Medical Assistance benefits that she is entitled to and the Plaintiff will be ,deprived of payment on Ms. Colbert's account as bargained for at the time of her admission. COUNTI BREACH OF CONTRACT/ SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE 7. The allegations contained in Paragraphs 1 through 6 are incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth at length. 8. Defendant breached his Agreement with Plaintiff by failing to act in accordance with the terms of the same, as he has failed to use Ms. Colbert's income and assets for her welfare, to make prompt payment for the care and services provided to Ms. Colbert, and to establish and maintain Ms. Colbert's eligibility for Medical Assistance benefits. 9. Because, at all times material hereto, Defendant's mother was financially unable to fully compensate Plaintiff for the services that it has rendered and continues to render to her, 2 i Defendant's failure to provide the necessary documentation required by the CAO, to process and approve his mother's application for Medical Assistance benefits, is a critical violation of the terms and conditions of the Agreement. See Exhibit A. 10. Defendant has interfered with Ms. Colbert's right to receive the Medical Assistance benefits she is entitled to, as well as Plaintiff's right to receive payment, via the Medical Assistance benefits process, in accordance with the bargained for Agreement.

The Facility does not discriminate among persons based on their sources of payment. H. CONSENT FOR TREATMENT A. Nursing Facility Services - By signing this Agreement, the Resident consents to the Facility providing routine nursing and other health care services as directed by the attending physician. From time to time, the Facility may participate in training programs for persons seeking licensure or certification as health care workers. In the course of this participation, care may be rendered to the Resident by such trainees under supervision as required by law. In addition, the Facility may use outside contractors to assist in providing routine nursing and other health care services. Consent to routine nursing care provided by the Facility shall include consent for care by such trainees and contractors. B. Physician Services - The Resident acknowledges that he or she is under the medical care of a personal attending physician and that the Facility provides services based on the general and specific instructions of this physician. The Resident has a right to select his or her own attending physician. If, however, the Resident does not select an attending physician or is unable to select an attending physician, an attending physician may be designated by the Facility, or in accordance with State law. The Resident recognizes and agrees that all physicians providing services to the Resident, including those designated by the Facility, are independent contractors. The Resident recognizes and agrees that such physicians are not associates or agents of the Facility and that the Facility's liability for any physician's act or omission is limited. The Resident shall be solely responsible for payment of all charges of any physician who renders care to the Resident in the Facility, unless the charges are covered by a third party payer. C. Right To Refuse Services - The Resident has the right to refuse treatment and to revoke consent for treatment. The Resident also has the right to be informed of the medical consequences of such refusal or revocation of consent, and to be informed of alternate treatments available. Where, in the opinion of the attending physician or by judgment of a court of law, the Resident is determined to be mentally incompetent to make a decision regarding refusal of treatment, the decision to refuse treatment may be made by a Legal Representative or other surrogate decision maker, subject to State and Federal law. III. PHOTOGRAPHS - The Resident agrees to allow the Facility to photograph or videotape the Resident as a means of identification or for health related purposes. The photographs or videotapes may also be used to help locate the Resident in the event of an unauthorized absence from the Facility, but shall otherwise be kept confidential.

The Resident retains the right to refuse the taking of a photograph at any time. IV. ARBITRATION - The Resident acknowledges that disputes under this Agreement may be submitted to arbitration, if the Resident elects to do so, by signing a separate agreement executed between the parties. Agreeing to arbitration is not a condition of admission or continuing care. V. PRIVACY ACT NOTIFICATION STATEMENT - Skilled nursing facilities who contract with the Medicare and Medical Assistance Programs (hereinafter referred to as "Medical Assistance Program" or "Program") are required to conduct comprehensive, accurate, standardized, and reproducible assessments of each resident's functional capacity and health status. As of June 22, 1998, all skilled nursing and nursing facilities are required to establish a database of resident assessment information and to electronically transmit this information to the State. The State is then required to transmit the data to the Federal Central Office Minimum Data Set (MDS) repository of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. These data are protected under the requirements of the Federal Privacy Act of 1974 and MDS Long Term Care Systems of Records. The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services is authorized to collect these data by Sections 1819(f), 1919(f), 1819(b)(3)(A) and 1864 of the Social Security Act. The purpose of this data collection is to aid in the administration of the survey and certification of Medicare/Medical Assistance long-term care facilities and to study the effectiveness and quality of care given in those facilities. This system will also support regulatory, reimbursement, policy, and research functions. This system will collect the minimum amount of personal data needed to accomplish its stated purpose. The information collected will be entered into the Long-Term Care Minimum Data Set (LTC MDS) system of records, System No. 09-70-1516. Information from this system may be disclosed, under specific circumstances, to: (1) a congressional office from the record of an individual in response to an inquiry from the congressional office made at the request of that individual; (2) the Bureau of Census; (3) the Department of Justice; (4) an individual or organization for a research, evaluation, or epidemiological project related to the prevention of disease or disability, or the restoration of health; (5) analyzing data, or to detect fraud or abuse; (6) an agency of a State Government for effectiveness, and/or quality of health care services provided in the State; (7) another benefits program funded in whole or in part with Federal funds or to detect fraud or abuse; (8) Peer Review Organizations to perform Title XI or Title XVIII functions; (9) services for preventing fraud or abuse under specific conditions. You should be aware that P.L. 100-603, the Computer Matching and Privacy Protection Act of 1988, permits the government to verify information by way of computer matches. Collection of the Social Security Number is voluntary; however, failure to provide this information may result in the loss of Medicare benefits. The Social Security Number will be used to verify the association of information to the appropriate individual. For nursing home residents residing in a certified Medicare/Medical Assistance nursing facility the requested information is mandatory because of the need to assess the effectiveness and quality of care . given in certified facilities and to assess the appropriateness of provided services. If a nursing home does not submit the required data it cannot be reimbursed for any Medicare/Medical Assistance services. VI. RESIDENT'S PERSONAL PROPERTY A. Safety Of Resident's Personal Property - The Facility strongly discourages the keeping of valuable jewelry, papers, large sums of money, or other items considered of value in the Facility.

HOWEVER, A FACILITY MAY REQUIRE AN INDIVIDUAL WHO HAS LEGAL ACCESS TO THE RESIDENT'S INCOME OR RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO PAY FOR FACHX17Y CARE TO SIGN A CONTRACT, WITHOUT INCURRING PERSONAL FINANCIAL LIABILITY FOR THE RESIDENT'S COSTS OF CARE, TO PROVIDE FACILITY PAYMENT FROM THE RESIDENT'S INCOME OR RESOURCES. n X. ' AGENT AND/OR LEGAL REPRESENTATIVE A. Agent - For the purposes of this Agreement, an Agent is a person who manages, uses or controls funds/assets that may be legally used to pay the Resident's charges or who otherwise acts on behalf of the Resident. The Agent's financial obligations are limited to the amount of the funds received or held by the Agent for the Resident. The Agent assumes no responsibility to pay for the costs of the Resident's care out of the Agent's personal funds. However, as a necessary parry to this Agreement, the Agent is contractually bound by the terms of this Agreement and may become personally liable for failure to perform duties under the Agreement. If the Agent has control of or access to the Resident's income and/or assets, the Agent agrees to use these funds for the Resident's welfare. The Agent is required to produce financial documentation as proof of the Resident's ability to pay for charges when due and to make prompt payment for care and services provided to the Resident as specified in the terms of this Agreement. THE AGENT IS REQUIRED TO SIGN THIS AGREEMENT AND AGREES TO DISTRIBUTE TO THE FACILITY, FROM THE RESIDENT'S INCOME OR RESOURCES, PAYMENT WHEN DUE FOR THE ITEMS/SERVICES PROVIDED TO THE RESIDENT. Wherever this Agreement refers to the Resident's financial obligations under this agreement, "Resident" shall be construed to include not only the Resident, but also the obligations of Agent to act on behalf of the Resident. B. Legal Representative - For the purposes of this Agreement, Legal Representative is defined as a person recognized under State law as having the authority to make health care and/or financial decisions for the Resident. The Legal Representative may or may not be court appointed. A Legal Representative may be an attorney-in-fact acting under a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care, guardian, conservator, next-of-kin, or other person allowed to act for the Resident under State Law. If Legal Representative status has been conferred by a court of law or through appointment by the Resident, copies of documents verifying such status must be provided to the Facility at the time of admission. XL PAYMENT INFORMATION A. Obligation To Pay Timely - The Facility charges for services provided shall be billed monthly to the Resident. These charges are due and payable by the tenth (10th) day of each month or, in the case of a notice of a rate change, within ten (10) days of mailing of the notice. If payment is not received timely, the account balance is considered past due and the Facility may add a late charge to the Resident's account. This late charge shall be assessed on the monthly balance at the lesser of the monthly rate of 1.5% (one and one-half percent) or the maximum amount permitted by law. This late charge does not alter any obligations of the Facility or Resident under this Agreement. In addition, under Federal law, failure to pay any amount due the Facility is grounds for discharge of the Resident from the Facility. If a Resident is required to vacate for failure to pay, the Facility shall provide advance notice as set forth under the Transfer and Discharge section of this Agreement. B. Credit Card Charges - The Facility accepts MasterCard and VISA If the Resident would like the convenience of paying amounts due each month through one of these options, the Resident must provide the needed information and authorization on the Credit Card Authorization form at the back of this Agreement. The Resident recognizes that, unless the Resident has authorized the use of MasterCard or VISA, the Facility does not offer credit or accept installment payments. The Facility's acceptance of a partial payment does not limit the Facility's rights under this Agreement. C. Fee For Returned Checks - A service fee of $25.00 (twenty-five dollars) or the actual fee charged by the bank, whichever is greater, will be charged for any returned check. 5 I ! , D. Potential Personal Liability Of Agent - Agent (includes any Legal Representative serving as the Resident's Agent) shall pay the Facility from the Agent's own resources as liquidated damages an amount equivalent to any payments or funds of the Resident which are available to pay for the Resident's care, which the Agent withholds, misappropriates for personal use, or otherwise does not turn over to Facility for payment of Resident's financial obligations under this Agreement, or an amount equivalent to revenue lost by the Facility due to the Agent's failure to cooperate in the Medical Assistance Program eligibility or re-determination process as required under this Agreement. XU. PRIVATE PAY RESIDENTS - A Resident is considered private pay when no State or Federal program is paying for the Resident's room and board. Private Pay Residents may have private insurance or another third party which pays all or some of the Resident's charges. A. Monthly Rate - The Facility's private pay monthly rate is determined in part by the type of room assigned. For this reason, the rate may change if the Resident moves to a different type of room. The Resident agrees to pay the Facility, on or before the day of admission, an amount no less than the first full month's room and board charge at the private pay monthly rate. For each additional month's stay, the Resident agrees to pay the Facility in advance on or before the tenth (10th) day of the month. Any unused advance payment shall be refunded if the Resident becomes covered by the Medical Assistance or Medicare Programs or leaves the Facility before the end of the month. In this case, the Resident shall be refunded a prorated daily room rate based on the total number of days in the calendar month during which the stay occurs. The Resident will be provided with a general list of supplies and services included in the Facility's monthly private pay rate and those supplies and services which are not covered by the monthly private pay rate for which the Resident will be separately charged. A more detailed list of charges for supplies and services not covered by the monthly private pay rate is maintained in the Business Office and is available for review during normal business hours. B. Rate Adjustments - The Facility shall provide advance written notice of any monthly rate adjustment. However, if at any time the Resident's condition requires the Facility to change the room or level of care, the Resident's monthly rate may be changed without prior notice, unless such notice is required by State law. When a notice of a rate adjustment is received, the Resident may choose to end this Agreement. Any rate increase shall be considered as agreed to by all parties when a notice is mailed, unless the Facility is notified to the contrary in writing within ten (10) calendar days of the date of the notice. If the Resident does not agree to the rate increase, the Resident agrees to leave the Facility no later than the day before the rate increase becomes effective. If the Resident fails to leave by this date, the Resident shall be considered to have consented to the increase for the duration of the Resident's stay. C. Primary Responsibility for Payment - Notwithstanding the source of funds for payment for the Facility's charges, the Resident remains primarily responsible for paying all Facility charges, including any charges not covered by a third party payer, unless expressly prohibited by a contractual agreement between the Facility and payer. Non-covered charges may include any coinsurance and/or deductible amounts required by a third parry payer. D. Communicating Changes in Assets - It is essential for the Resident to communicate to the Facility any changes in the Resident's assets or resources within ten (10) days of knowledge of the changes in financial status. Upon request by the Facility, the Resident shall provide the required information to the Facility within ten days. If the Resident runs out of private monies, it is important to locate alternative payment sources to pay for his or her uninterrupted stay in the Facility. Generally, when private funds are depleted, the Resident applies for Medical Assistance, and application-processing time can be lengthy. The Resident agrees to inform the Facility when the value of his/her remaining assets are within three (3) months of being reduced to an amount that, when combined with the 6 Resi'dent's monthly income, is no longer sufficient to pay for the cost of care and services. If the Resident's private funds are exhausted during the Resident's stay, and Medicaid payment is available for the Resident, the Facility shall accept Medicaid payments on behalf of the Resident. E. Discharge Of Resident - The Facility shall not transfer or evict the Resident solely as a result of the Resident changing his or her manner of payment from Private or Medicare to Medical Assistance, unless the Facility is not certified for Medical Assistance. XIII. MEDICAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM RESIDENT - A Medical Assistance Program Resident is one who receives benefits from the State Medical Assistance Program for a majority of his or her Room & Board charges. The Program may or may not cover charges for additional services/items provided by the Facility, depending on State law. Medicaid eligibility is a requirement for Medical Assistance. A. Applying For Medical Assistance - The Facility makes no guarantee that the Resident's care will be covered by Medicare, Medical Assistance, or any third party insurance or other reimbursement source. The Facility, its agents and associates are hereby released from any liability or responsibility for any claim relating to the failure to obtain such coverage. B. Qualifying For Medical Assistance - The Resident should learn if the Medicaid eligibility requirement is met at the time of admission. If the Resident elects coverage under the Medical Assistance Program, the Resident agrees to act as quickly as possible to establish and maintain eligibility. These actions must include, but are not limited to: (1) timely completion and submission, if applicable, of Resident's application, and (2) taking any and all steps necessary to ensure that the Resident's assets are appropriately spent down and maintained within the allowable limits. The Resident agrees that the Medical Assistance office may release to the Facility any information submitted by the Resident in pursuit of eligibility so that the Facility may assist with and ascertain the status of the application process. C. Providing Application Information And Keeping The Facility Informed - The Resident agrees to provide all of the information necessary for completion of the Medical Assistance Program application and of any subsequent Program eligibility re-determinations in compliance with the Program deadlines. The Resident certifies that any financial information regarding the Resident's income and assets provided is complete and accurate. The Resident agrees to keep the Facility informed of all communication between the Resident and the Medical Assistance agency, no less often than weekly and of the status and progress of the application. The Resident agrees to provide the Facility with copies of any information necessary for the appropriate State agency to process the application and any later eligibility re-determinations. D. Transferring Assets - If the Resident transfers assets, this transfer may disqualify the Resident for Medical Assistance and/or cause a discontinuance of the Resident's Program benefits. The Resident acknowledges that this may result in charge to the Resident for services not paid for by the Program and/or in discharge of the Resident due to non-payment. E. Resident's Share of Cost - The Medical Assistance Program reviews the available monthly income of all Medical Assistance applicants. As a result, most Medical Assistance Residents are required to pay for a reasonable share of the cost of their care, referred to as Share of Cost, Private Portion, Patient Liability, Patient Resource, or similar designation. Payment of that share is the responsibility of the Resident. The State can change the Resident's share of cost at its discretion. Changes in the Resident's Share of Cost must be communicated to the Facility on a timely basis. 7 . .11 } F. Continuing Payment of Facility Charges Pending Eligibility - When an application for Medical Assistance has been filed, the Resident agrees that while the Resident's application is "pending," the Resident's estimated Share of Cost shall be paid to the Facility on or before the tenth (10th) day of each month. Once the Resident is determined to be eligible for Medical Assistance, the Resident's Share of Cost shall be paid to the Facility on or before the tenth day of each month. If the Resident is retroactively approved for Medical Assistance, previous payments made by the Resident which are covered by Medical Assistance shall be refunded promptly in accordance with the Facility's refund policy which can be reviewed at the Facility's Business Office. Resident and Agent understand that, after the Share of Cost is established by Medical Assistance, failure to pay the Share of Cost may result in the Resident's discharge from the Facility. G. Daily Rate Payment - On admission, the Resident shall be provided with a list of supplies and services generally paid for by the Medical Assistance Program, and those supplies and services not paid for by the Program for which the Resident will be separately charged. A detailed list of charges for supplies and services available in the Facility, but not covered by the daily rate, is maintained in the Business Office and is available for review during normal business hours. H. Termination Of Coverage - A Resident who remains in the Facility after Medical Assistance coverage has expired or been retroactively terminated or denied must pay Facility charges as a Private Pay Resident. In this event, the Resident shall be charged based on the private rates, charges and terms in effect at the time of service. I. Designation Of Facility As Representative Payee - Resident and Agent agree that, in the event the Resident become delinquent in payment of the share of cost obligation, Resident shall arrange for the designation of the Facility as "Representative Payee" of the Resident for any Social Security related benefits or other income sources of the Resident. Payments made from such income sources shall be applied to the Resident's outstanding share of cost amount. In the event that the Agent fails to pay the share of cost from the Resident's funds, the Facility may also notify the appropriate State or Federal agency of this nonpayment. XIV. MEDICARE RESIDENT - A Medicare Resident is one who receives benefits from the Federal Medicare Program for his or her nursing home care. Some additional items and services may be covered by Medicare. A. Medicare Coverage - On admission, the Resident shall be provided with an oral explanation and a written list of supplies and services generally paid by the Medicare program, and those supplies and services not paid for by the Medicare program for which the Resident will be separately charged. A detailed list of charges for supplies and services available in the Facility but not covered under the Medicare program, including the daily coinsurance rate, is maintained in the Business Office and is available for review during normal business hours. B. Limited Coverage - Medicare coverage is established by Federal guidelines and not by the Facility. Medicare coverage is limited in that only a specified level of care is covered for a specified number of days (benefit period). If the Resident no longer meets Medicare coverage criteria, coverage can be ended before the use of all allotted days in the current benefit period. C. Expiration Of Benefits - When Medicare coverage expires, the Resident may remain in the Facility if private pay or other payment arrangements have been made. If the Resident wishes to be discharged from the Facility upon expiration of Medicare benefits, he or she must so advise the Facility at the time of the Resident's admission or readmission. If the Resident intends to become private pay when 8 ' l Medicare benefits expire, the Resident agrees to pay in advance for one month's room and board at the private pay monthly rate when the Resident changes to private pay status. With the exception of the private portion, if applicable, no advance payment is required from Medicare Residents who convert to Medical Assistance. D. Coinsurance And Deductibles - The Resident is responsible for payment of any Medicare coinsurance and/or deductibles except as covered by the Medical Assistance Program for dually eligible residents. XV. TRANSFERS AND DISCHARGES A. Notice - The Facility shall give notice to the Resident and, if known, a family member or Legal Representative of the Resident of a transfer or discharge initiated by the facility. Where legally required, this notice shall be given at least thirty (30) days prior to the Resident's transfer or discharge. In cases where the safety or health of the Resident or other individuals in the Facility may be endangered or if other legal reasons exist, notice may be given as soon as practicable before transfer or discharge. The reason(s) for the transfer/discharge shall be provided at the time of notice of transfer/discharge. Notice will also include information regarding the right to appeal a transfer/discharge. B. Reasons for Discharge - The Facility shall only transfer or discharge a Resident under the following conditions. The Resident may be transferred/discharged if it is necessary for the Resident's welfare and the Resident's needs cannot be met in the Facility. The Resident may also be transferred/discharged because the Resident's health has improved sufficiently so the Resident no longer needs the services provided by the Facility. The Resident may be transferred/discharged because the safety of individuals in the Facility is endangered or because the health of individuals in the Facility would otherwise be endangered. The Resident may be transferred/discharged because the Resident has failed, after reasonable and appropriate notice, to pay for (or to have paid under Medicare or Medical Assistance) a stay at the Facility. The Resident may be transferred/discharged because the Facility ceases to operate. XVI. BED-HOLDS - In the event that the Resident is temporarily absent from the Facility for hospitalization or therapeutic leave, the Resident may request that the Facility hold open the Resident's bed during this time. This is known as a "bed-hold." The Resident and a family member or legal representative shall be given written notice of the bed-hold option at the time of the hospitalization or therapeutic leave. A. Medical Assistance Residents - If the Resident's care is paid for under the Medical Assistance Program, the Program may pay for a certain number of bed-hold days. If the Resident's therapeutic leave exceeds the bed-hold period paid for under the Program, the Resident may request an additional bed-hold period from the Facility by agreeing to pay the applicable daily rate. Otherwise, the Resident shall be readmitted upon the first availability of a bed in a non-private room as long as the Resident: 1) requires the services provided by the Facility; and 2) is eligible for Medical Assistance nursing services. B. Private Pay and Medicare Residents- Any Private Pay or Medicare Resident may request a bed-hold from the Facility. A Resident's private insurance may or may not pay for bed-holds. The Medicare program does not reimburse for bed-holds. However, if the Medicare Resident is also Medical Assistance Program eligible, that Program may pay for a certain number of bed-hold days. Otherwise, a Private Pay or Medicare Resident requesting a bed-hold must pay the Facility's prorated private monthly rate during the bed-hold period. 9 • r XVIL RESIDENT'S RIGHTS AND FACILITY POLICY UNDER THE FEDERAL SELF- DETERMINATION ACT A. Right To Make Decisions Regarding Care -The Facility recognizes the right of each Resident to make decisions regarding his or her care. Where a Resident is incompetent, the Facility recognizes the Resident's right to have these decisions made on his/her behalf by a substitute decision maker in accordance with State law. B. Right To Formulate An Advance Directive- The Facility recognizes the right of each Resident to have an advance directive and will honor advance directives developed in accordance with State law and consistent with the level of care the Facility is licensed to provide. An advance directive is a written document that states choices for health care and/or names someone to make those choices. These choices may include the refusal of certain types of care. A Living Will and a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care are examples of advance directives. Questions about the Facility's policies regarding health care decision-making and/or advance directives may be presented to the Executive Director. Questions regarding whether to execute an advance directive or about its content should be discussed with the Resident's family, physician and/or attorney. C. An Advance Directive Is Not Required As A Condition Of Admission Or Continued Stay - An advance directive is not necessary in order to be admitted to or to continue to reside in the Facility. However, if the Resident has an advance directive, he or she must make it known to the Executive Director or designee so that it can be reviewed and made a part of the medical record.

CIVIL ACTION - EQUITY No. 09-5423 MOTION FOR SPECIAL ORDER FOR ALTERNATE SERVICE PURSUANT TO Pa.R.C.P. 430 AND NOW, COMES, Plaintiff, GGNSC Camp Hill III LP d/b/a Golden Living Center - Camp Hill, by and through its counsel, Schutjer Bogar LLC, and files this Motion for Special Order for Alternate Service Pursuant to Pa.R.C.P. 430, as follows: 1. Plaintiff operates a skilled nursing facility, located at 46 Erford Road, Camp Hill, Pennsylvania 17011. 2. Rose Colbert is a resident at Plaintiffs skilled nursing facility, located at 46 Erford Road, Camp Hill, Pennsylvania 17011. 3. Rose Colbert's son and agent through power of attorney is the Defendant, Stanley Colbert, whose residential address and mailing address is 5583 Mercury Road, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania 17109. 4. On or about August 5, 2009, Plaintiff filed its Complaint against the Defendant. 5. In accordance with Pa. R.C.P. 402, Plaintiff, by and through Erin Johnson, of Shinkowsky Investigators, attempted to make personal service of the Complaint upon the Defendant at his place of residence. See Affidavit of Erin Johnson attached hereto as Exhibit A. 6. In accordance with Pa. R.C.P. 402, Plaintiff, by and through John T. Kranchick, Jr., of Pennsylvania Professional Process Svc., again attempted to make personal service of the Complaint upon the Defendant at all then known physical addresses, including the 5583 Mercury Road address as well as 1103 N. 16'' Street, both in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. See Affidavit of John T. Kranchick, Jr. attached hereto as Exhibit B. 7. Plaintiff made another attempt to comply with Pa. R.C.P. 402, by engaging the Cumberland County Sheriff, who deputized the Dauphin County Sheriff, to attempt t6 make personal service upon the Defendant at all known physical addresses. 8. The Dauphin County Sheriff was unable to perfect service upon the Defendant. See Sheriff's Return for Dauphin County and Sheriffs Return for Cumberland County attached hereto as Exhibits C and D, respectively. 9. Personal service was also attempted at Defendant's place of employment, the Defense Distribution Center; however, Defendant refused to come to the security gate to accept service of the Complaint. See Affidavit of Service of Jack Kranchick, attached hereto as Exhibit E. 10. All personal service attempts upon Defendant, regardless of location, have been unsuccessful. See Exhibits A, B, C, D and E. 11. Attempts to provide service of other legal documents and correspondence via Certified Mail - Return Receipt Requested have similarly been unsuccessful, due to Defendant's failure and/or refusal to claim the same. See the August 27, 2009 letter and envelope from an attempt to contact Defendant via Certified Mail, attached hereto as Exhibit F. 12. However, the U.S. Mail has been used successfully for communicating with the Defendant, as correspondence sent to his residence in this fashion has not been returned to sender, nor has any indication of non-receipt been provided. See the July 29, 2009 letter to Defendant, attached hereto as Exhibit G. 2 13. Pursuant to Pa. R.C.P. 430, where service cannot be made under the applicable Rule, i.e. Pa. R.C.P. 402, a Special Order may be issued allowing for alternate service. 14. The U.S. Mail First Class is the only known way to communicate with Defendant, as he refuses to receive or return telephone calls and personal service cannot be made. 15. Service of the Complaint, Petition for Preliminary Injunction and Brief in Support, via U.S. Mail First Class, would provide adequate notice to Defendant of the proceedings filed against him, which the Court has the authority to permit by special order. WHEREFORE, Plaintiff requests that the Court enter a Special Order permitting Alternate Service of the Complaint, Petition for Preliminary Injunction and Brief in Support upon Stanley Colbert via U.S. Mail First Class, as well as all future pleadings, Court Orders or otherwise.

PA 1,5219 Fax (412) 281-0530 www.schutjerbogar.com Our law firm serves as counsel for GGNSC Camp Hill III LP d/b/a Golden Living Center - Camp Hill ("Golden Living Center"). As a condition of your mother's admission to our client's skilled nursing facility, you contractually agreed, as Agent and Legal Representative for your mother, with respect to Medical Assistance benefits/coverage, to "act as quickly as possible to establish and maintain eligibility. These actions must include, but are not limited, to: (1) timely completion and submission, if applicable, of Resident's application, and (2) taking any and all step necessary to ensure that the Resident's assets are appropriately spent down and maintained with the allowable limits." Therefore, we are now requesting the cooperation you agreed to provide pursuant to the Resident Admission Agreement. An application for Medical Assistance ("Medicaid") benefits was filed on your mother's behalf on March 30, 2009. On May 11, 2009, the application was denied because' certain information was not timely provided to the County Assistance Office. A copy of the denial notice is enclosed for your reference. An appeal of that denial is currently pending. However, as you may be aware, your mother's application for benefits requires the production of certain information necessary to determine whether or not she is eligible for benefits. While I understand that the process can be time-consuming and difficult, it is essential that benefits be secured. To facilitate our obtaining the information needed by the County Assistance Office, I have enclosed herewith an Authorization Statement for your signature. Please sign and return the Authorization Statement in the enclosed self-addressed stamped envelope. Additionally, please contact me to discuss the required documentation and when that documentation will be available, including a copy of your mother's Power of Attorney document. Golden Living Center wishes to assist you with the application process and to avoid dispute. Therefore, they have retained our firm to assist in getting your mother qualified for benefits. Once qualified, your mother's care will be almost completely paid by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania - a situation which clearly benefits both parties. Please understand that if you refuse to assist with the Medicaid process, we will have no alternative but to pursue any and all legal remedies available, including, but not limited to, commencing a lawsuit against you and/or Ms. Colbert to compel cooperation.

STANLEY COLBERT, Defendant. CIVIL ACTION - EQUITY No. COMPLAINT AND NOW, COMES, GGNSC Camp Hill III LP d/b/a Golden Living Center, Camp Hill ("Plaintiff'), by and through its attorneys, SCHUTJER BOGAR LLC, and files the within Complaint against Stanley Colbert ("Defendant"), and in support thereof, provides as follows: 1. Plaintiff is a foreign corporation licensed to do business in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, with its principal office located at 46 Erford Road, Camp Hill, Pennsylvania 17011. 2. Defendant, the son of and legal representative for Rose Colbert, is an adult individual who currently resides at 5583 Mercury Road, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania 17109. 3. On or about October 24, 2008, Defendant applied for the admission of his mother, Rose Colbert ("Ms. Colbert"), to Plaintiff's skilled nursing facility. At that time, Plaintiff and Defendant entered into a written Resident Admission Agreement ("Agreement"), pursuant to which Plaintiff agreed to provide Defendant's mother with skilled nursing services in exchange for Defendant's promise to use Ms. Colbert's income and assets for her welfare, to make prompt payment for the care and services provided to Ms. Colbert, and to establish and maintain Ms. Colbert's eligibility for Medical Assistance benefits. A true and correct copy of the Agreement ? . +, E is attached hereto as Exhibit A. 4. After Defendant's mother became a resident of Plaintiff's skilled nursing facility, she apparently became insolvent. As a result, pursuant to the Agreement, Plaintiff notified Defendant that he needed to secure Medical Assistance benefits for Ms. Colbert, and an application for Medical Assistance benefits subsequently was filed on or about March 30, 2009. 5. On May 11, 2009, the application for Medical Assistance benefits was denied because Defendant did not provide the information and documentation required by the Cumberland County Assistance Office ("CAO") to establish and maintain Ms. Colbert's eligibility. See the PA-162 attached hereto as Exhibit B. 6. On June 15, 2009, the Plaintiff filed an appeal of this denial. However, if the Defendant fails to provide the CAO with the information necessary to qualify his mother for Medical Assistance benefits, the appeal will necessarily fail, and Ms. Colbert will be precluded from receiving the Medical Assistance benefits that she is entitled to and the Plaintiff will be deprived of payment on Ms. Colbert's account as bargained for at the time of her admission. COUNTI BREACH OF CONTRACT/ SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE 7. The allegations contained in Paragraphs I through 6 are incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth at length. 8. Defendant breached his Agreement with Plaintiff by failing to act in accordance with the terms of the same, as he has failed to use Ms. Colbert's income and assets for her welfare, to make prompt payment for the care and services provided to Ms. Colbert, and to establish and maintain Ms. Colbert's eligibility for Medical Assistance benefits. 9. Because, at all times material hereto, Defendant's mother was financially unable to fully compensate Plaintiff for the services that it has rendered and continues to render to her, 2 r ?. Defendant's failure to provide the necessary documentation required by the CAO, to process and approve his mother's application for Medical Assistance benefits, is a critical violation of the terms and conditions of the Agreement. See Exhibit A. 10. Defendant has interfered with Ms. Colbert's right to receive the Medical Assistance benefits she is entitled to, as well as Plaintiff's right to receive payment, via the Medical Assistance benefits process, in accordance with the bargained for Agreement. See Exhibit A. 11. By obstructing the Medical Assistance benefits process, Defendant has irreparably harmed both his mother and the Plaintiff. 12. Only a decree of specific performance will adequately protect the interests of Plaintiff and provide it with the benefits and/or protections promised under the Agreement. WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully requests that this Honorable Court order Defendant to specifically perform his obligations under the Agreement and to produce the information and documents to the Cumberland County Assistance Office required to establish and maintain the eligibility of his mother, Rose Colbert, for Medical Assistance benefits. COUNT H STATUTORY DUTY OF SUPPORT 13. The allegations contained in Paragraphs I through 12 are incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth at length. 14. Defendant Stanley Colbert is the son of Rose Colbert. 15. Upon information and belief, at all times material hereto, Rose Colbert has been indigent. 16. At all times material hereto, Defendant has had a statutory duty to financially support his mother, Rose Colbert. See 23 Pa. C.S. § 4603(a). 3 J. 17. At all times material hereto, Defendant has failed to financially support his mother. 18. The Defendant's statutory duty to support his mother must reasonably include the duty to assist with securing financial support through the Medical Assistance benefits system and the duty to not actively work against Medical Assistance benefits approval. 19. At all times material hereto, in violation of 23 Pa. C.S. §4603(a), Defendant failed to care for, maintain or financially assist his mother by refusing to provide the information and documents requested by the CAO to determine his mother's eligibility for Medical Assistance benefits. WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully requests that this Honorable Court order Defendant to specifically perform his statutory duty, and to produce the information and documents to the Camberland County Assistance Office required to establish and maintain the eligibility of his mother, Rose Colbert, for Medical Assistance benefits.

PRIVACY ACT NOTIFICATION STATEMENT - Skilled nursing facilities who contract with the Medicare and Medical Assistance Programs (hereinafter referred to as "Medical Assistance Program" or "Program") are required to conduct comprehensive, accurate, standardized, and reproducible assessments of each resident's functional capacity and health status. As of June 22, 1998, all skilled nursing and nursing facilities are required to establish a database of resident assessment information and to electronically transmit this information to the State. The State is then required to transmit the data to the Federal Central Office Minimum Data Set (MDS) repository of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. These data are protected under the requirements of the Federal Privacy Act of 1974 and MDS Long Term Care Systems of Records. The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services is authorized to collect these data by Sections 1819(f), 1919(f), 1819(b)(3)(A) and 1864 of the Social Security Act. The purpose of this data collection is to aid in the administration of the survey and certification of Medicare/Medical Assistance long-term care facilities and to study the effectiveness and quality of care given in those facilities. This system will also support regulatory, reimbursement, policy, and research functions. This system will collect the minimum amount of personal data needed to accomplish its stated purpose. The information collected will be entered into the Lang-Term Care Minimum Data Set (LTC MDS) system of records, System No. 09-70-1516. Information from this system may be disclosed, under specific circumstances, to: (1) a congressional office from the record of an individual in response to an inquiry from the congressional office made at the request of that individual; (2) the Bureau of Census; (3) the Department of Justice; (4) an individual or organization for a research, evaluation, or epidemiological project related to the prevention of disease or disability, or the restoration of health; (5) analyzing data, or to detect fraud or abuse; (6) an agency of a State Government for effectiveness, and/or quality of health care services provided in the State; (7) another benefits program funded in whole or in part with Federal funds or to detect fraud or abuse; (8) Peer Review Organizations to perform Title XI or Title XVM functions; (9) services for preventing fraud or abuse under specific conditions. You should be aware that P.L. 100-603, the Computer Matching and Privacy Protection Act of 1988, permits the government to verify information by way of computer matches. Collection of the Social Security Number is voluntary; however, failure to provide this information may result in the loss of Medicare benefits. The Social Security Number will be used to verify the association of information to the appropriate individual. For nursing home residents residing in a certified Medicare/Medical Assistance nursing facility the requested information is mandatory because of the need to assess the effectiveness and quality of care given in certified facilities and to assess the appropriateness of provided services. If a nursing home does not submit the required data it cannot be reimbursed for any Medicare/Medical Assistance services. Vt. RESIDENT'S PERSONAL PROPERTY A. Safety Of Resident's Personal Property - The Facility strongly discourages the keeping of valuable jewelry, papers, large sums of money, or other items considered of value in the Facility.

X. AGENT AND/OR LEGAL REPRESENTATIVE A. Agent - For the purposes of this Agreement, an Agent is a person who manages, uses or controls funds/assets that may be legally used to pay the Resident's charges or who otherwise acts on behalf of the Resident. The Agent's financial obligations are limited to the amount of the funds received or held by the Agent for the Resident. The Agent assumes no responsibility to pay for the costs of the Resident's care out of the Agent's personal funds. However, as a necessary party to this Agreement, the Agent is contractually bound by the terms of this Agreement and may become personally liable for failure to perform duties under the Agreement. If the Agent has control of or access to the Resident's income and/or assets, the Agent agrees to use these funds for the Resident's welfare. The Agent is required to produce financial documentation as proof of the Resident's ability to pay for charges when due and to make prompt payment for care and services provided to the Resident as specified in the terms of this Agreement. THE AGENT IS REQUIRED TO SIGN THIS AGREEMENT AND AGREES TO DISTRIBUTE TO THE FACILPIY, FROM THE RESIDENT'S INCOME OR RESOURCES, PAYMENT WHEN DUE FOR THE ITEMS/SERVICES PROVIDED TO THE RESIDENT. Wherever this Agreement refers to the Resident's financial obligations under this agreement, "Resident:" shall be construed to include not only the Resident, but also the obligations of Agent to act on behalf of the Resident. B. Legal Representative - For the purposes of this Agreement, Legal Representative is defined as a person recognized under State law as having the authority to make health care and/or financial decisions for the Resident. The Legal Representative may or may not be court appointed. A Legal Representative may be an attorney-in-fact acting under a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care, guardian, conservator, next-of-kin, or other person allowed to act for the Resident under State Law. If Legal Representative status has been conferred by a court of law or through appointment by the Resident, copies of documents verifying such status must be provided to the Facility at the time of admission. XI. PAYMENT INFORMATION A. Obligation To Pay Timely - The Facility charges for services provided shall be billed monthly to the Resident. These charges are due and payable by the tenth (10th) day of each month or, in the case of a notice of a rate change, within ten (10) days of mailing of the notice. If payment is not received timely, the account balance is considered past due and the Facility may add a late charge to the Resident's account. This late charge shall be assessed on the monthly balance at the lesser of the monthly rate of 1.5% (one and one-half percent) or the maximum amount permitted by law. This late charge does not alter any obligations of the Facility or Resident under this Agreement. In addition, under Federal law, failure to pay any amount due the Facility is grounds for discharge of the Resident from the Facility. If a Resident is required to vacate for failure to pay, the Facility shall provide advance notice as set forth under the Transfer and Discharge section of this Agreement. B. Credit Card Charges - The Facility accepts MasterCard and VISA. If the Resident would like the convenience of paying amounts due each month through one of these options, the Resident must provide the needed information and authorization on the Credit Card Authorization form at the back of this Agreement. The Resident recognizes that, unless the Resident has authorized the use of MasterCard or VISA, the Facility does not offer credit or accept installment payments. The Facility's acceptance of a partial payment does not limit the Facility's rights under this Agreement. C. Fee For Returned Checks - A service fee of $25.00 (twenty-five dollars) or the actual fee charged by the bank, whichever is greater, will be charged for any returned check. D. Potential Personal Liability Of Agent - Agent (includes any Legal Representative serving as the Resident's Agent) shall pay the Facility from the Agent's own resources as liquidated damages an amount equivalent to any payments or funds of the Resident which are available to pay for the Resident's care, which the Agent withholds, misappropriates for personal use, or otherwise does not turn over to Facility for payment of Resident's financial obligations under this Agreement, or an amount equivalent to revenue lost by the Facility due to the Agent's failure to cooperate in the Medical Assistance Program eligibility or re-determination process as required under this Agreement. XK PRIVATE PAY RESIDENTS - A Resident is considered private pay when no State or Federal program is paying for the Resident's room and board. Private Pay Residents may have private insurance or another third party which pays all or some of the Resident's charges. A. Monthly Rate - The Facility's private pay monthly rate is determined in part by the type of room assigned. For this reason, the rate may change if the Resident moves to a different type of room. The Resident agrees to pay the Facility, on or before the day of admission, an amount no less than the first full month's room and board charge at the private pay monthly rate. For each additional month's stay, the Resident agrees to pay the Facility in advance on or before the tenth (10th) day of the month. Any unused advance payment shall be refunded if the Resident becomes covered by the Medical Assistance or Medicare Programs or leaves the Facility before the end of the month. In this case, the Resident shall be refunded a prorated daily room rate based on the total number of days in the calendar month during which the stay occurs. The Resident will be provided with a general list of supplies and services included in the Facility's monthly private pay rate and those supplies and services which are not covered by the monthly private pay rate for which the Resident will be separately charged. A more detailed list of charges for supplies and services not covered by the monthly private pay rate is maintained in the Business Office and is available for review during normal business hours. B. Rate Adjustments - The Facility shall provide advance written notice of any monthly rate adjustment. However, if at any time the Resident's condition requires the Facility to change the room or level of care, the Resident's monthly rate may be changed without prior notice, unless such notice is required by State law. When a notice of a rate adjustment is received, the Resident may choose to end this Agreement. Any rate increase shall be considered as agreed to by all parties when a notice is mailed, unless the Facility is notified to the contrary in writing within ten (10) calendar days of the date of the notice. If the Resident does not agree to the rate increase, the Resident agrees to leave the Facility no later than the day before the rate increase becomes effective. If the Resident fails to leave by this date, the Resident shall be considered to have consented to the increase for the duration of the Resident's stay. C. Primary Responsibility for Payment - Notwithstanding the source of funds for payment for the Facility's charges, the Resident remains primarily responsible for paying all Facility charges, including any charges not covered by a third party payer, unless expressly prohibited by a contractual agreement between the Facility and payer. Non-covered charges may include any coinsurance and/or deductible amounts required by a third party payer. D. Communicating Changes in Assets - It is essential for the Resident to communicate to the Facility any changes in the Resident's assets or resources within ten (10) days of knowledge of the changes in financial status. Upon request by the Facility, the Resident shall provide the required information to the Facility within ten days. If the Resident runs out of private monies, it is important to locate alternative payment sources to pay for his or her uninterrupted stay in the Facility. Generally, when private funds are depleted, the Resident applies for Medical Assistance, and application-processing time can be lengthy. The Resident agrees to inform the Facility when the value of his/her remaining assets are within three (3) months of being reduced to an amount that, when combined with the Resident's monthly income, is no longer sufficient to pay for the cost of care and services. If the Resident's private funds are exhausted during the Resident's stay, and Medicaid payment is available for the Resident, the Facility shall accept Medicaid payments on behalf of the Resident. E. Discharge Of Resident - The Facility shall not transfer or evict the Resident solely as a result of the Resident changing his or her manner of payment from Private or Medicare to Medical Assistance, unless the Facility is not certified for Medical Assistance. XU1 MEDICAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM RESIDENT - A Medical Assistance Program Resident is one who receives benefits from the State Medical Assistance Program for a majority of his or her Room & Board charges. The Program may or may not cover charges for additional services/items provided by the Facility, depending on State law. Medicaid eligibility is a requirement for Medical Assistance. A. Applying For Medical Assistance - The Facility makes no guarantee that the Resident's care will be covered by Medicare, Medical Assistance, or any third party insurance or other reimbursement source. The Facility, its agents and associates are hereby released from any liability or responsibility for any claim relating to the failure to obtain such coverage. B. Qualifying For Medical Assistance - The Resident should learn if the Medicaid eligibility requirement is met at the time of admission. If the Resident elects coverage under the Medical Assistance Program, the Resident agrees to act as quickly as possible to establish and maintain eligibility. These actions must include, but are not limited to: (1) timely completion and submission, if applicable, of Resident's application, and (2) taking any and all steps necessary to ensure that the Resident's assets are appropriately spent down and maintained within the allowable limits. The Resident agrees that the Medical Assistance office may release to the Facility any information submitted by the Resident in pursuit of eligibility so that the Facility may assist with and ascertain the status of the application process. C. Providing Application Information And Keeping The Facility Informed - The Resident agrees to provide all of the information necessary for completion of the Medical Assistance Program application and of any subsequent Program eligibility re-determinations in compliance with the Program deadlines. The Resident certifies that any financial information regarding the Resident's income and assets provided is complete and accurate. The Resident agrees to keep the Facility informed of all communication between the Resident and the Medical Assistance agency, no less often than weekly and of the status and progress of the application. The Resident agrees to provide the Facility with copies of any information necessary for the appropriate State agency to process the application and any later eligibility re-determinations. D. Transferring Assets - If the Resident transfers assets, this transfer may disqualify the Resident for Medical Assistance and/or cause a discontinuance of the Resident's Program benefits. The Resident acknowledges that this may result in charge to the Resident for services not paid for by the Program and/or in discharge of the Resident due to non-payment. E. Resident's Share of Cost - The Medical Assistance Program reviews the available monthly income of all Medical Assistance applicants. As a result, most Medical Assistance Residents are required to pay for a reasonable share of the cost of their care, referred to as Share of Cost, Private Portion, Patient Liability, Patient Resource, or similar designation. Payment of that share is the responsibility of the Resident. The State can change the Resident's share of cost at its discretion. Changes in the Resident's Share of Cost must be communicated to the Facility on a timely basis. 7 F. Continuing Payment of Facility Charges Pending Eligibility - When an application for Medical Assistance has been filed, the Resident agrees that while the Resident's application is "pending," the Resident's estimated Share of Cost shall be paid to the Facility on or before the tenth (10th) day of each month. Once the Resident is determined to be eligible for Medical Assistance, the Resident's Share of Cost shall be paid to the Facility on or before the tenth day of each month. If the Resident is retroactively approved for Medical Assistance, previous payments made by the Resident which are covered by Medical Assistance shall be refunded promptly in accordance with the Facility's refund policy which can be reviewed at the Facility's Business Office. Resident and Agent understand that, after the Share of Cost is established by Medical Assistance, failure to pay the Share of Cost may result in the Resident's discharge from the Facility. G. Daily Rate Payment - On admission, the Resident shall be provided with a list of supplies and services generally paid for by the Medical Assistance Program, and those supplies and services not paid for by the Program for which the Resident will be separately charged. A detailed list of charges for supplies and services available in the Facility, but not covered by the daily rate, is maintained in the Business Office and is available for review during normal business hours. H. Termination Of Coverage - A Resident who remains in the Facility after Medical Assistance coverage has expired or been retroactively terminated or denied must pay Facility charges as a Private Pay Resident. In this event, the Resident shall be charged based on the private rates, charges and terms in effect at the time of service. L Designation Of Facility As Representative Payee - Resident and Agent agree that, in the event the Resident become delinquent in payment of the share of cost obligation, Resident shall arrange for the designation of the Facility as "Representative Payee" of the Resident for any Social Security related benefits or other income sources of the Resident. Payments made from such income sources shall be applied to the Resident's outstanding share of cost amount. In the event that the Agent fails to pay the share of cost from the Resident's funds, the Facility may also notify the appropriate State or Federal agency of this nonpayment. XIV. MEDICARE RESIDENT - A Medicare Resident is one who receives benefits from the Federal Medicare Program for his or her nursing home care. Some additional items and services may be covered by Medicare. A. Medicare Coverage - On admission, the Resident shall be provided with an oral explanation and a written list of supplies and services generally paid by the Medicare program, and those supplies and services not paid for by the Medicare program for which the Resident will be separately charged. A detailed list of charges for supplies and services available in the Facility but not covered under the Medicare program, including the daily coinsurance rate, is maintained in the Business Office and is available for review during normal business hours. B. Limited Coverage - Medicare coverage is established by Federal guidelines and not by the Facility. Medicare coverage is limited in that only a specified level of care is covered for a specified number of days (benefit period), If the Resident no longer meets Medicare coverage criteria, coverage can be ended before the use of all allotted days in the current benefit period. C. Expiration Of Benerits - When Medicare coverage expires, the Resident may remain in the Facility if private pay or other payment arrangements have been made. If the Resident wishes to be discharged from the Facility upon expiration of Medicare benefits, he or she must so advise the Facility at the time of the Resident's admission or readmission. If the Resident intends to become private pay when i Medicare benefits expire, the Resident agrees to pay in advance for one month's room and board at the private pay monthly rate when the Resident changes to private pay status. With the exception of the private portion, if applicable, no advance payment is required from Medicare Residents who convert to Medical Assistance. D. Coinsurance And Deductibles - The Resident is responsible for payment of any Medicare coinsurance and/or deductibles except as covered by the Medical Assistance Program for dually eligible residents. XV. TRANSFERS AND DISCHARGES A. Notice - The Facility shall give notice to the Resident and, if known, a family member or Legal Representative of the Resident of a transfer or discharge initiated by the facility. Where legally required, this notice shall be given at least thirty (30) days prior to the Residents transfer or discharge.

The reason(s) for the transfer/discharge shall be provided at the time of notice of transfer/discharge. Notice will also include information regarding the right to appeal a transfer/discharge. B. Reasons for Discharge - The Facility shall only transfer or discharge a Resident under the following conditions. The Resident may be transferred/discharged if it is necessary for the Resident's welfare and the Resident's needs cannot be met in the Facility. The Resident may also be transferred/discharged because the Resident's health has improved sufficiently so the Resident no longer needs the services provided by the Facility. The Resident may be transferred/discharged because the safety of individuals in the Facility is endangered or because the health of individuals in the Facility would otherwise be endangered. The Resident may be transferred/discharged because the Resident has failed, after reasonable and appropriate notice, to pay for (or to have paid under Medicare or Medical Assistance) a stay at the Facility. The Resident may be transferred/discharged because the Facility ceases to operate. XVL BED-HOLDS - In the event that the Resident is temporarily absent from the Facility for hospitalization or therapeutic leave, the Resident may request that the Facility hold open the Resident's bed during this time. This is known as a "bed-hold." The Resident and a family member or legal representative shall be given written notice of the bed-hold option at the time of the hospitalization or therapeutic leave. A. Medical Assistance Residents - If the Resident's care is paid for under the Medical Assistance Program, the Program may pay for a certain number of bed-hold days. If the Resident's therapeutic leave exceeds the bed-hold period paid for under the Program, the Resident may request an additional bed-hold period from the Facility by agreeing to pay the applicable daily rate. Otherwise, the Resident shall be readmitted upon the first availability of a bed in a non-private room as long as the Resident: 1) requires the services provided by the Facility; and 2) is eligible for Medical Assistance nursing services. B. Private Pay and Medicare Residents- Any Private Pay or Medicare Resident may request a bed-hold from the Facility. A Resident's private insurance may or may not pay for bed-holds. The Medicare program does not reimburse for bed-holds. However, if the Medicare Resident is also Medical Assistance Program eligible, that Program may pay for a certain number of bed-hold days. Otherwise, a Private Pay or Medicare Resident requesting a bed-hold must pay the Facility's prorated private monthly rate during the bed-hold period. 9 XVII. RESIDENT'S RIGHTS AND FACILITY POLICY UNDER THE FEDERAL SELF- DETERMINATION ACT A. Right To Make Decisions Regarding Care --The Facility recognizes the right of each Resident to make decisions regarding his or her care.

Blight To Formulate An Advance Directive- The Facility recognizes the right of each Resident to have an advance directive and will honor advance directives developed in accordance with State law and consistent with the level of care the Facility is licensed to provide.

A Living Will and a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care are examples of advance directives. Questions about the Facility's policies regarding health care decision-making and/or advance directives may be presented to the Executive Director. Questions regarding whether to execute an advance directive or about its content should be discussed with the Resident's family, physician and/or attorney. C. An Advance Directive Is Not Required As A Condition Of Admission Or Continued Stay - An advance directive is not necessary in order to be admitted to or to continue to reside in the Facility. However, if the Resident has an advance directive, he or she must make it known to the Executive Director or designee so that it can be reviewed and made a part of the medical record. If the resident is incapacitated at the time of admission, the advance directive information shall be provided to family members or other Resident representatives. However, if the Resident later regains competency, the Facility will provide such information directly to the Resident. XVIII. CHARGES FOR COPIES OF MEDICAL RECORDS The Facility may charge the Resident for copies of his/her medical record in accordance with either state prescribed rates or the rate commonly charged in the Facility's community. XIX. SOLE AGREEMENT- This Agreement is the only Admission Agreement between the Facility and the parties. Changes to this Agreement are valid only if made in writing and signed by all parties.

Before signing the Agreement, please continue to ask questions until you believe that you understand the Agreement. L NONDISCRIMINATION STATEMENT - The Facility welcomes all persons in need of its services and does not discriminate on the basis of age, disability, race, color, national origin, ancestry, religion, or sex. The Facility does not discriminate among persons based on their sources of payment. II. CONSENT FOR TREATMENT A. Nursing Facility Services - By signing this Agreement, the Resident consents to the Facility providing routine nursing and other health care services as directed by the attending physician. From time to time, the Facility may participate in training programs for persons seeking licensure or certification as health care workers. In the course of this participation, care may be rendered to the Resident by such trainees under supervision as required by law. In addition, the Facility may use outside contractors to assist in providing routine nursing and other health care services. Consent to routine nursing care provided by the Facility shall include consent for care by such trainees and contractors. B. Physician Services - The Resident acknowledges that he or she is under the medical care of a personal attending physician and that the Facility provides services based on the general and specific instructions of this physician. The Resident has a right to select his or her own attending physician. If, however, the Resident does not select an attending physician or is unable to select an attending physician, an attending physician may be designated by the Facility, or in accordance with State law. The Resident recognizes and agrees that all physicians providing services to the Resident, including those designated by the Facility, are independent contractors. The Resident recognizes and agrees that such physicians are not associates or agents of the Facility and that the Facility's liability for any physician's act or omission is limited. The Resident shall be solely responsible for payment of all charges of any physician who renders care to the Resident in the Facility, unless the charges are covered by a third party payer. C. Right To Refuse Services - The Resident has the right to refuse treatment and to revoke consent for treatment. The Resident also has the right to be informed of the medical consequences of such refusal or revocation of consent, and to be informed of alternate treatments available. Where, in the opinion of the attending physician or by judgment of a court of law, the Resident is determined to be mentally incompetent to make a decision regarding refusal of treatment, the decision to refuse treatment may be made by a Legal Representative or other surrogate decision maker, subject to State and Federal law. M. PHOTOGRAPHS - The Resident agrees to allow the Facility to photograph or videotape the Resident as a means of identification or for health related purposes. The photographs or videotapes may also be used to help locate the Resident in the event of an unauthorized absence from the Facility, but shall otherwise be kept confidential. If the Facility intends to use the photograph or videotape for purposes other than those noted above, the Facility shall get written permission from the Resident in advance of such use. The Resident retains the right to refuse the taking of a photograph at any time. IV. ARBITRATION - The Resident acknowledges that disputes under this Agreement may be submitted to arbitration, if the Resident elects to do so, by signing a separate agreement executed 1 ? between the parties. Agreeing to arbitration is not a condition of admission or continuing care. V. PRIMACY ACT NOTIFICATION STATEMENT - Skilled nursing facilities who contract with the Medicare and Medical Assistance Programs (hereinafter referred to as "Medical Assistance Program" or "Program") are required to conduct comprehensive, accurate, standardized, and reproducible assessments of each resident's functional capacity and health status. As of June 22, 1998, all skilled nursing and nursing facilities are required to establish a database of resident assessment information and to electronically transmit this information to the State. The State is then required to transmit the data to the Federal Central Office Minimum Data Set (MDS) repository of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. These data are protected under the requirements of the Federal Privacy Act of 1974 and MDS Long Term Care Systems of Records. The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services is authorized to collect these data by Sections 1819(f), 1919(1), 18 1 9(b)(3)(A) and 1864 of the Social Security Act. The purpose of this data collection is to aid in the administration of the survey and certification of Medicare/Medical Assistance long-term care facilities and to study the effectiveness and quality of care given in those facilities. This system will also support regulatory, reimbursement, policy, and research functions. This system will collect the minimum amount of personal data needed to accomplish its stated purpose. The information collected will be entered into the Long-Term Care Minimum Data Set (LTC MDS) system of records, System No. 09-70-1516. Information from this system may be disclosed, under specific circumstances, to: (1) a congressional office from the record of an individual in response to an inquiry from the congressional office made at the request of that individual; (2) the Bureau of Census; (3) the Department of Justice; (4) an individual or organization for a research, evaluation, or epidemiological project related to the prevention of disease or disability, or the restoration of health; (5) analyzing data, or to detect fraud or abuse; (6) an agency of a State Government for effectiveness, and/or quality of health care services provided in the State; (7) another benefits program funded in whole or in part with Federal funds or to detect fraud or abuse; (8) Peer Review Organizations to perform Title XI or Title XVM functions; (9) services for preventing fraud or abuse under specific conditions. You should be aware that P.L. 100-603, the Computer Matching and Privacy Protection Act of 1988, permits the government to verify information by way of computer matches. Collection of the Social Security Number is voluntary; however, failure to provide this information may result in the loss of Medicare benefits. The Social Security Number will be used to verify the association of information to the appropriate individual. For nursing home residents residing in a certified Medicare/Medical Assistance nursing facility the requested information is mandatory because of the need to assess the effectiveness and quality of care , given in certified facilities and to assess the appropriateness of provided services. If a nursing home does not submit the required data it cannot be reimbursed for any Medicare/Medical Assistance services. V1. RESIDENT'S PERSONAL PROPERTY A. Safety Of Resident's Personal Property - The Facility strongly discourages the keeping of valuable jewelry, papers, large sums of money, or other items considered of value in the Facility. The Facility shall make reasonable efforts to safeguard the Resident's property/valuables, which the Resident chooses to keep in his or her possession. The Resident agrees to inform the Facility in writing of all personal property upon admission. If, at any time during the Resident's stay, new items of value are brought to or removed from the Resident's possessions in the Facility, the Resident also agrees to so j inform the Facility Executive Director or designee. B. Personal Property Of Resident Upon Discharge - The Facility shall make reasonable efforts to safeguard the Resident's personal belongings after discharge. The Facility, however,'shall not be liable for any damage to or loss of the Resident's property. The Facility may dispose of any property left by the Resident if not claimed within thirty (30) days of discharge or transfer, or in accordance with applicable State law. VII. PERSONAL FUNDS A.

The Facility shall inform the Resident as to how his or her funds are being held. The Facility's policy is to maintain all Resident funds in a separate account, except for a nominal amount maintained in a petty cash fund for the Resident's convenience. D. Accounting - The Facility shall have a system that ensures a complete and separate accounting, based on generally accepted accounting principles, of the personal funds deposited with the Facility by each Resident or on his or her behalf.

In addition to the required quarterly accounting, the Facility shall provide individual financial records at the written request of the Resident. E. Medical Assistance Residents - The personal fund balances of Residents who receive Medical Assistance Program benefits must remain within a certain dollar range to satisfy State and Federal laws. The Facility shall notify a Medical Assistance Program Resident if his or her account balance is within Two Hundred Dollars ($200.00) of the Federal Supplemental Security Income (SSI) limit. The Facility shall also notify the Resident if the account balance, in addition to the Resident's known non-exempt assets, reaches the SSI resource limit. A balance in excess of this limit may cause the Resident to lose eligibility for Medical Assistance or SSI. F. Refunds - If a Resident who has personal funds deposited with the Facility expires, the Facility shall refund the Resident's account balance within thirty (30) days and provide a full accounting of these funds to the individual, probate jurisdiction administering the Resident's estate, or other entity or individual, as required by State law or regulation.

It is understood that the rules and regulations may be amended from time to time as the Facility may require. Any changes to the rules and regulations shall be given to the Resident in writing. B. Resident Grievances - Residents are urged to bring any grievance concerning the Facility to the attention of the Facility Executive Director or designee. The Facility also offers a toll-free "Hotline" telephone number through which grievances can be registered anonymously. This number is 1-800-572- 9981. Residents also have the right to contact the State Facility licensing agency, the long-term care ombudsman, or both, to register grievances against the Facility. C. Diet - The Resident understands that his or her diet is medically prescribed and, therefore, must be monitored by the Facility. The Resident agrees to consult with Nursing or Dietary staff regarding food or beverages brought into the Facility for the Resident's *benefit. D. Medications - No medications or drugs may be brought upon Facility premises unless the medications or drugs are labeled according to the requirements of State and Federal law. Packaging of medications must be compatible with the Facility's medication distribution system. All drugs or medications brought into the Facility shall be immediately delivered to the nurses' station. E. Care Of Facility's Property - To preserve the value of the Facility's property for future use, the Resident agrees to use due care to avoid damaging the Facility's property and premises. The Resident shall be responsible for repair or replacement of the Facility's property damaged or destroyed by the Resident. However, the Resident shall not be responsible for such damage as is to be expected from ordinary wear and tear. F. Care Of The Resident's Room - The Facility encourages the Resident to have a home-like environment and will attempt to accommodate all reasonable requests to individualize Resident rooms. For safety reasons, the Facility must concur with any addition or rearrangement of furniture, hanging of pictures, posters, or other similar activities. IX. PROHIBITION AGAINST TRXRD PARTY GUARANTOR -FEDERAL AND STATE LAWS PROHIBIT A NURSING HOME FROM REQUIRING A THIRD PARTY GUARANTEE OF PAYMENT TO THE FACILITY AS A CONDITION OF ADMISSION, EXPEDITED ADMISSION OR CONTINUED STAY IN THE FACILITY. HOWEVER, A FACILITY MAY REQUIRE AN INDIVIDUAL WHO HAS LEGAL ACCESS TO THE RESIDENT'S INCOME OR RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO PAY FOR FACILITY CARE TO SIGN A CONTRACT, WITHOUT INCURRING PERSONAL FINANCIAL LIABILITY FOR THE RESIDENT'S COSTS OF CARE, TO PROVIDE FACILITY PAYMENT FROM THE RESIDENT'S INCOME OR RESOURCES. X. AGENT AND/OR LEGA .. REPRESENTATIVE A. Agent - For the purposes of this Agreement, an Agent is a person who manages, uses or controls funds/assets that may be legally used to pay the Resident's charges or who otherwise acts on behalf of the Resident. The Agent's financial obligations are limited to the amount of the funds received or held by the Agent for the Resident- The Agent assumes no responsibility to pay for the costs of the Resident's care out of the Agent's personal funds. However, as a necessary party to this Agreement, the Agent is contractually bound by the terms of this Agreement and may become personally liable for failure to perform duties under the Agreement. If the Agent has control of or access to the Resident's income and/or assets, the Agent agrees to use these funds for the Resident's welfare. The Agent is required to produce financial documentation as proof of the Resident's ability to pay for charges when due and to make prompt payment for care and services provided to the Resident as specified in the terms of this Agreement. THE AGENT IS REQUIRED TO SIGN THIS AGREEMENT AND AGREES TO DISTRIBUTE TO THE FACILITY, FROM THE RESIDENT'S INCOME OR RESOURCES, PAYMENT WHEN DUE FOR THE ITEMS/SERVICES PROVIDED TO THE RESIDENT. Wherever this Agreement refers to the Resident's financial obligations under this agreement, "Resident" shall be construed to include not only the Resident, but also the obligations of Agent to act on behalf of the Resident. B. Legal Representative - For the purposes of this Agreement, Legal Representative is defined as a person recognized under State law as having the authority to make health care and/or financial decisions for the Resident. The Legal Representative may or may not be court appointed. A Legal Representative may be an attorney-in-fact acting under a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care, guardian, conservator, next-of-kin, or other person allowed to act for the Resident under State Law. If Legal Representative status has been conferred by a court of law or through appointment by the Resident, copies of documents verifying such status must be provided to the Facility at the time of admission. XL PAYMENT INFORMATION A. Obligation To Pay Timely - The Facility charges for services provided shall be billed monthly to the Resident. These charges are due and payable by the tenth (10th) day of each month or, in the case of a notice of a rate change, within ten (10) days of mailing of the notice. If payment is not received timely, the account balance is considered past due and the Facility may add a late charge to the Resident's account. This late charge shall be assessed on the monthly balance at the lesser of the monthly rate of 1.5% (one and one-half percent) or the maximum amount permitted by law. This late charge does not alter any obligations of the Facility or Resident under this Agreement. In addition, under Federal law, failure to pay any amount due the Facility is grounds for discharge of the Resident from the Facility. If a Resident is required to vacate for failure to pay, the Facility shall provide advance notice as set forth under the Transfer and Discharge section of this Agreement. B. Credit Card Charges - The Facility accepts MasterCard and VISA If the Resident would like the convenience of paying amounts due each month through one of these options, the Resident must provide the needed information and authorization on the Credit Card Authorization form at the back of this Agreement. The Resident recognizes that, unless the Resident has authorized the use of MasterCard or VISA, the Facility does not offer credit or accept installment payments. The Facility's acceptance of a partial payment does not limit the Facility's rights under this Agreement. C. Fee For Returned Checks - A service fee of $25.00 (twenty-five dollars) or the actual fee charged by the bank, whichever is greater, will be charged for any returned check. 5 D. Potential Personal Liability Of Agent - Agent (includes any Legal Representative serving as the Resident's Agent) shall pay the Facility from the Agent's own resources as liquidated damages an amount equivalent to any payments or funds of the Resident which are available to pay for the Resident's care, which the Agent withholds, misappropriates for personal use, or otherwise does not turn over to Facility for payment of Resident's financial obligations under this Agreement, or an amount equivalent to revenue lost by the Facility due to the Agent's failure to cooperate in the Medical Assistance Program eligibility or re-determination process as required under this Agreement. XIL PRIVATE PAY RESIDENTS - A Resident is considered private pay when no State or Federal program is paying for the Resident's room and board. Private Pay Residents may have private insurance or another third party which pays all or some of the Resident's charges. A. Monthly Rate - The Facility's private pay monthly rate is determined in part by the type of room assigned. For this reason, the rate may change if the Resident moves to a different type of room. The Resident agrees to pay the Facility, on or before the day of admission, an amount no less than the first full month's room and board charge at the private pay monthly rate. For each additional month's stay, the Resident agrees to pay the Facility in advance on or before the tenth (10th) day of the month. Any unused advance payment shall be refunded if the Resident becomes covered by the Medical Assistance or Medicare Programs or leaves the Facility before the end of the month. In this case, the Resident shall be refunded a prorated daily room rate based on the total number of days in the calendar month during which the stay occurs. The Resident will be provided with a general list of supplies and services included in the Facility's monthly private pay rate and those supplies and services which are not covered by the monthly private pay rate for which the Resident will be separately charged. A more detailed list of charges for supplies and services not covered by the monthly private pay rate is maintained in the Business Office and is available for review during normal business hours. B. Rate Adjustments - The Facility shall provide advance written notice of any monthly rate adjustment. However, if at any time the Resident's condition requires the Facility to change the room or level of care, the Resident's monthly rate may be changed without prior notice, unless such notice is required by State law. When a notice of a rate adjustment is received, the Resident may choose to end this Agreement. Any rate increase shall be considered as agreed to by all parties when a notice is mailed, unless the Facility is notified to the contrary in writing within ten (I0) calendar days of the date of the notice. If the Resident does not agree to the rate increase, the Resident agrees to leave the Facility no later than the day before the rate increase becomes effective. If the Resident fails to leave by this date, the Resident shall be considered to have consented to the increase for the duration of the Resident's stay. C. Primary Responsibility for Payment - Notwithstanding the source of funds for payment for the Facility's charges, the Resident remains primarily responsible for paying all Facility charges, including any charges not covered by a third party payer, unless expressly prohibited by a contractual agreement between the Facility and payer. Non-covered charges may include any coinsurance and/or deductible amounts required by a third party payer. D. Communicating Changes in Assets - It is essential for the Resident to communicate to the Facility any changes in the Resident's assets or resources within ten (10) days of knowledge of the changes in financial status. Upon request by the Facility, the Resident shall provide the required information to the Facility within ten days. If the Resident runs out of private monies, it is important to locate alternative payment sources to pay for his or her uninterrupted stay in the Facility. Generally, when private funds are depleted, the Resident applies for Medical Assistance, and application-processing time can be lengthy. The Resident agrees to inform the Facility when the value of his/her remaining assets are within three (3) months of being reduced to an amount that, when combined with the Resident's monthly income, is nab -. Ager sufficient to pay for the cost of cap _ and services. If the Resident's private funds are exhausted during the Resident's stay, and Medicaid payment is available for the Resident, the Facility shall accept Medicaid payments on behalf of the Resident. K Discharge Of Resident - The Facility shall not transfer or evict the Resident solely as a result of the Resident changing his or her manner of payment from Private or Medicare to Medical Assistance, unless the Facility is not certified for Medical Assistance.

MEDICAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM RESIDENT - A Medical Assistance Program Resident is one who receives benefits from the State Medical Assistance Program for a majority of his or her Room & Board charges. The Program may or may not cover charges for additional services/items provided by the Facility, depending on State law. Medicaid eligibility is a requirement for Medical Assistance- A. Applying For Medical Assistance - The Facility makes no guarantee that the Resident's care will be covered by Medicare, Medical Assistance, or any third party insurance or other reimbursement source. The Facility, its agents and associates are hereby released from any liability or responsibility for any claim relating to the failure to obtain such coverage. B. Qualifying For Medical Assistance - The Resident should learn if the Medicaid eligibility requirement is met at the time of admission. If the Resident elects coverage under the Medical Assistance Program, the Resident agrees to act as quickly as possible to establish and maintain eligibility. These actions must include, but are not limited to: (1) timely completion and submission, if applicable, of Resident's application, and (2) taking any and all steps necessary to ensure that the Resident's assets are appropriately spent down and maintained within the allowable limits. The Resident agrees that the Medical Assistance office may release to the Facility any information submitted by the Resident in pursuit of eligibility so that the Facility may assist with and ascertain the status of the application process. C. Providing Application Information And Keeping The Facility Informed - The Resident agrees to provide all of the information necessary for completion of the Medical Assistance Program application and of any subsequent Program eligibility re-determinations in compliance with the Program deadlines. The Resident certifies that any financial information regarding the Resident's income and assets.provided is complete and accurate. The Resident agrees to keep the Facility informed of all communication between the Resident and the Medical Assistance agency, no less often than weekly and of the status and progress of the application. The Resident agrees to provide the Facility with copies of any information necessary for the appropriate State agency to process the application and any later eligibility re-determinations. D. Transferring Assets - If the Resident transfers assets, this transfer may disqualify the Resident for Medical Assistance and/or cause a discontinuance of the Resident's Program benefits. The Resident acknowledges that this may result in charge to the Resident for services not paid for by the Program and/or in discharge of the Resident due to non-payment. E. Resident's Share of Cost - The Medical Assistance Program reviews the available monthly income of all Medical Assistance applicants. As a result, most Medical Assistance Residents are required to pay for a reasonable share of the cost of their care, referred to as Share of Cost, Private Portion, Patient Liability, Patient Resource, or similar designation. Payment of that share is the responsibility of the Resident. The State can change the Resident's share of cost at its discretion. Changes in the Resident's Share of Cost must be communicated to the Facility on a timely basis. 7 F. Continuing Payment of Facility Charges Pending Eligibility - When an application for Medical Assistance has been fled, the Resident agrees that while the Resident's application is "pending," the Resident's estimated Share of Cost shall be paid to the Facility on or before the tenth (IOth) day of each month. Once the Resident is determined to be eligible for Medical Assistance, the Resident's Share of Cost shall be paid to the Facility on or before the tenth day of each month. If the Resident is retroactively approved for Medical Assistance, previous payments made by the Resident which are covered by Medical Assistance shall be refunded promptly in accordance with the Facility's refund policy which can be reviewed at the Facility's Business Office. Resident and Agent understand that, after the Share of Cost is established by Medical Assistance, failure to pay the Share of Cost may result in the Resident's discharge from the Facility. C. Daily Rate Payment - On admission, the Resident shall be provided with a list of supplies and services generally paid for by the Medical Assistance Program, and those supplies and services not paid for by theProgram for which the Resident will be separately charged. A detailed list of charges for supplies and services available in the Facility, but not covered by the daily rate, is maintained in the Business Office and is available for review during normal business hours. H. Termination Of Coverage - A Resident who remains in the Facility after Medical Assistance coverage has expired or been retroactively terminated or denied must pay Facility charges as a Private Pay Resident. In this event, the Resident shall be charged based on the private rates, charges and terms in effect at the time of service. L Designation Of Facility As Representative Payee - Resident and Agent agree that, in the event the Resident become delinquent in payment of the share of cost obligation, Resident shall arrange for the designation of the Facility as "Representative Payee" of the Resident for any Social Security related benefits or other income sources of the Resident. Payments made from such income sources shall be applied to the Resident's outstanding share of cost amount. In the event that the Agent fails to pay the share of cost from the Resident's funds, the Facility may also notify the appropriate State or Federal agency of this nonpayment. XIV. MEDICARE RESIDENT - A Medicare Resident is one who receives benefits from the Federal Medicare Program for his or her nursing home care. Some additional items and services may be covered by Medicare. A. Medicare Coverage - On admission, the Resident shall be provided with an oral explanation and a written list of supplies and services generally paid by the Medicare program, and those supplies and services not paid for by the Medicare program for which the Resident will be separately charged. A detailed list of charges for supplies and services available in the Facility but not covered under the Medicare program, including the daily coinsurance rate, is maintained in the Business office and is available for review during normal business hours. B. Limited Coverage - Medicare coverage is established by Federal guidelines and not by the Facility. Medicare coverage is limited in that only a specified level of care is covered for a specified number of days (benefit period). If the Resident no longer meets Medicare coverage criteria, coverage can be ended before the use of all allotted days in the current benefit period. C. Expiration of Benefits - When Medicare coverage expires, the Resident may remain in the Facility if private pay or other payment arrangements have been made. If the Resident wishes to be discharged from the Facility upon expiration of Medicare benefits, he or she must so advise the Facility at the time of the Resident's admission or readmission. If the Resident intends to become private pay when t Medicare benefits expire, the Resident agrees to pay in advance for one month's room and board at the private pay monthly rate when the Resident changes to private pay status. With the exception of the private portion, if applicable, no advance payment is required from Medicare Residents who convert to Medical Assistance. D. Coinsurance And Deductibles - The Resident is responsible for payment of any Medicare coinsurance and/or deductibles except as covered by the Medical Assistance Program for dually eligible residents. XV. TRANSFERS AND DISCHARGES A. Notice - The Facility shall give notice to the Resident and, if known, a family member or Legal Representative of the Resident of a transfer or discharge initiated by the facility. Where legally required, this notice shall be given at least thirty (30) days prior to the Resident's transfer or discharge. In cases where the safety or health of the Resident or other individuals in the Facility may be endangered or if other legal reasons exist, notice may be given as soon as practicable before transfer or discharge. The reason(s) for the transfer/discharge shall be provided at the time of notice of transfer/discharge. Notice will also include information regarding the right to appeal a transfer/discharge. B. Reasons for Discharge - The Facility shall only transfer or discharge a Resident under the following conditions. The Resident may be transferred/discharged if it is necessary for the Resident's welfare and the Resident's needs cannot be met in the Facility. The Resident may also be transferred/discharged because the Resident's health has improved sufficiently so the Resident no longer needs the services provided by the Facility. The Resident may be transferred/discharged because the safety of individuals in the Facility is endangered or because the health of individuals in the Facility would otherwise be endangered. The Resident may be transferred/discharged because the Resident has failed, after reasonable and appropriate notice, to pay for (or to have paid under Medicare or Medical Assistance) a stay at the Facility. The Resident may be transferred/discharged because the Facility ceases to operate. XVI. BED-HOLDS - In the event that the Resident is temporarily absent from the Facility for hospitalization or therapeutic leave, the Resident may request that the Facility hold open the Resident's bed during this time. This is known as a "bed-hold." The Resident and a family member or legal representative shall be given written notice of the bed-hold option at the time of the hospitalization or therapeutic leave. A. Medical Assistance Residents - If the Resident's care is paid for under the Medical Assistance Program, the Program may pay for a certain number of bed-hold days. If the Resident's therapeutic leave exceeds the bed-hold period paid for under the Program, the Resident may request an additional bed-hold period from the Facility by agreeing to pay the applicable daily rate. Otherwise, the Resident shall be readmitted upon the first availability of a bed in a non-private room as long as the Resident: 1) requires the services provided by the Facility; and 2) is eligible for Medical Assistance nursing services. B. Private Pay and Medicare Residents- Any Private Pay or Medicare Resident may request a bed-hold from the Facility. A Resident's private insurance may or may not pay for bed-holds. The Medicare program does not reimburse for bed-holds. However, if the Medicare Resident is also Medical Assistance Program eligible, that Program may pay for a certain number of bed-hold days. Otherwise, a Private Pay or Medicare Resident requesting a bed-hold must pay the Facility's prorated private monthly rate during the bed-hold period, 9 .'1717747E42 golden Ung center cam 07:49:01 a.m. 07-15-2009 RESIDENT-SPECIFIC INFORMATION XXII_ Payer So VEMedicare - This Facility accepts the following types of payments: M [) Private [ ] Medical Assistance [ ] Veterans Administration XXM ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS - By signing the Admission Agreement Signature Page, the Resident/Agent/Legal Representative acknowledges that he or she has been given and has read this Agreement in its entirety, and all addenda.
