The entry contribution is refunded to you (or transferred to other accommodation at Carrington) less the non-refundable departure fees. A Residence Contract is completed with the Carrington Centennial Care Ltd, which owns and operates the Village. Carrington Centennial Care is a non-profit charitable organisation that has been operating for more than 100 years. Terms and Conditions Once a prospective resident has been formally offered a Unit:

• The client will be asked in writing to pay a 10% deposit on the full price of the unit, with a minimum of $5,000 or maximum of $10,000.
  
  
• If the prospective resident can demonstrate financial hardship, a lesser amount will be accepted upon approval from the CEO.
  
  
• The deposit will be fully refunded, within seven days, if the client changes his/her mind about occupying the unit, or they cannot find the money to pay for the unit.
  
  
• The deposit secures the unit, and it is not made available to any other prospective resident for a period of three months from receipt of deposit.
  
  
• An extension of the three months time limit may only be granted, on the recommendation of the Village Manager, and approval of the CEO.
