Richmond,
Thanks for tackling the work of improving the Forums and helping users understand it.
I urge that you (or the Board) approve an additional Forum topic: "Pricing; Costs; Finances". -- either as a members-only or open-to-all topic.
I'm confident that this topic would quickly become one of the most frequently used topics -- especially at this time of year when CCRC managements are announcing the budgets for 2025 and the percentage increases in monthly fees for Independent Living and continuing care, and the special fee amounts for ancillary services.
This topic doesn't duplicate any other. A second suggestion is that the members-only topic "Financial Soundness Handbook..." would be more useful if it were not focused on "Handbook feedback" and were simply renamed "Financial Soundness".
Thank you,
Barry Peters
