• SCC receives fees from the senior housing or care providers for making referrals. This fee is based on an agreement that SCC and the provider have agreed upon. SCC requests that you provide a copy of your closing/contract documents indicating the monthly charges when complete.
• SCC’s contract with senior housing and care providers state the fee cannot be passed on to the client. Payment terms are due anywhere from 10-30 days after client has begun services with the provider. We will provide a pro-rated refund to the provider if the client passes away or moves out within 60 days at a 30% rate based on number of days services were provided.
• Prior to moving into any adult family home the client will require an assessment by a DSHS certified nurse to establish the level of care required, a care plan for the resident and determine the cost of care services. Any fees associated with the assessment are the responsibility of the client and are paid directly to the nurse providing the assessment, if applicable. SCC can, at the request of the client, coordinate scheduling of the assessment with an independent DSHS certified nurse, but is not responsible for the assessment and receives no fees for this service.
