2006 Finance Committee Survey
Observations and Conclusions: Long term financial stability appears to be one area where the ORANJ Finance Committee should focus its attention. Ten CCRCs cited monthly rate increases as their greatest financial concern and half of those ten cited long term financial stability as a parallel concern. Only four CCRCs reported having some kind of a policy regarding the setting and limiting of monthly fee increases. ... Only half the CCRCs reported that information substantiating the reasonableness of monthly fee increases was provided. Half of the CCRCs asked the ORANJ Finance Committee for continued exchange of information and productive ideas.
