No matter how the agreements are characterized, it is essential that people know in advance what they are contracting for in terms of services funded by the government or the Operator, and any costs for which are they are personally responsible to the Operator. In its public information, the government has identified that:
:''“contracts for residential care services must include a description of the range of services available at the facility. Care services (e.g., bathing and dressing) are provided to residents based on their individual care plans. Hospitality services (e.g., housekeeping, meals, recreational programming) are provided to all residents. The cost of services is based on a percentage of income for subsidized facilities, or an agreed upon amount in private pay facilities. All consumers are entitled to know, in advance, what they will be charged per month and must understand that they may refuse additional services if they do not wish to receive them [emphasis added]."''
