Disclosure statement (the village's summary of the deal)
Not published online. The law says the village must give you one before you sign an occupation right agreement (the contract that lets you live there), and it sets out every fee. Ask for it early.
What would you get back?
For comparison only, the calculator shows what you would get back at 25% and 30%, the most common exit fees among villages we have checked. They are not this village's fees. Before weekly fees and any other charges.

Research note
Rose Court (operated by Alden) is studio/one-bedroom apartment living bundled with optional care packages rather than standalone villas; the unit itself is owned by the Village - residents hold only a right to occupy, never title.
