The Residency Fee is partially refundable to the resident or their estate upon separation from Abernethy Laurels on a graduated scale, based on the initial contract.

Are fees fixed or can they change?
All fees are reviewed annually by the Board of Directors of United Church Homes and Services. Adjustments are made effective at the beginning of each fiscal year, with 30 days notice given to all residents.
