1. Purpose of Agreement
This Agreement delineates the terms and conditions under which the Resident agrees to pay for the provisions of accommodation, comprehensive care, and ancillary services furnished by the Provider, hereinafter referred to as "Services".

2. Fees and Payment Terms
2.1. Monthly Fee: The Resident shall remit to the Provider a monthly fee amounting to five thousand (5,000) dollars ("Resident Fee"). This fee covers the costs associated with accommodation, fundamental care services, nourishment, and utilities.

2.2. Payment Schedule and Late Fees: The Resident Fee is mandated to be paid in full on the first day of each calendar month. Failure to adhere to this payment schedule will result in late fees. This clause underscores the importance of timely payments to ensure the uninterrupted provision of services to the Resident.
2.3. Review and Adjustment of Fees: The Resident Fee is subject to an annual evaluation and may be adjusted to mirror fluctuations in operational costs and enhancements or modifications in the services provided. Any revisions to the Resident Fee will be formally communicated to the Resident in writing, ensuring a notice period of at least sixty (60) days prior to the implementation of the new fee structure. This ensures transparency and allows for ample preparation time for both parties.
