## Research questions

### Does an independent-living offer include assistance with daily routines?

Brookdale's US comparison describes independent living for people who do not need help with daily routines, while assisted living includes daily assistance. Suggested practice: distinguish accommodation and amenities from separately offered care. This provider description does not determine an individual's suitability or another community's service contract.

### Can an independent-living campaign promise every amenity as included?

Brookdale's US cost page says listed services vary by community and may not all be included in the basic service rate. Its examples include meals, housekeeping and transportation. Name the community's actual inclusions before equating a quoted accommodation rate with an all-inclusive service package.

### Does independent-living admission guarantee an on-site transition to higher care?

Brookdale says some US communities may add personal care through Brookdale at Home. A possible transition could be within the current community or a nearby location, if available. Retain those conditions: an initial enquiry or move-in is not evidence that a later care space is reserved.

### Why should a CCRC offer identify the contract type before presenting a fee?

Brookdale's US CCRC guide distinguishes a rental basic service rate from an upfront Life Care entrance fee tied to the floor plan, services and contract. It also notes additional financial and health requirements for Life Care. A tour enquiry is not a completed qualification or contract choice.
