- Basic Care: Each applicant upon entering the Basic Care Unit will have his finances reviewed and a rent charge determined if applicable.
- Skilled Nursing Facility: Charges are based on the case mix payment system developed by the state.

The rate may also be supplemented by VA per diem and Aid and Attendance. If the resident is qualified by the VA, these payments directly offset his/her daily rate.
