The primary difference (602) 544-3195 between the first two is the amount of skilled-nursing care received, without a change in the monthly fee.

Life Care Contracts (Type A) Life care contracts include unlimited enriched-housing/assisted-living care (if offered by the community) and unlimited skilled-nursing-facility services, along with independent housing and residential services and amenities. The resident’s monthly fee cannot change due to a change in the level of covered health care needed by the resident (except for normal operating costs and inflation adjustments). Modified Contracts (Type B) Modified contracts include independent housing and residential services but include only a limited number of days in a skilled-nursing facility. The number of skilled-nursing days covered in a modified contract may vary, but the contract must include at least 60 days of skilled-nursing-facility coverage, exclusive of Medicare days.
