2007 FINANCE GUIDEBOOK
Guidebook for Residents who are serving on Finance Committees

In the summer of 2007 ORANJ published a Guidebook for residents of CCRCs who are serving on their Finance Committee. The Guide was written by members of the Finance Committee of ORANJ under the leadership of Harry Mann of Crestwood Manor. Its purpose is to provide residents with a basic understanding of their CCRC’s financial position and performance as reflected in its financial statements and other key documents.

It provides information to answer fundamental questions such as:
· What is needed for a CCRC in order to have long-term financial stability?
· How do you dig useful financial information out of a CCRC’s financial statements?
· What are a resident’s financial rights and protections under the law?
