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?
The exit fee builds over 4 years to 27%. The calculator spreads it evenly over those years; the exact schedule is in the fee notes above. Before weekly fees and any other charges.

Research note
Checked homepage, /faq, /about, /visit, /resources (404), and full sitemap footer, the site repeatedly references 'the Disclosure Statement' as the authoritative document but never links to it; prospective residents are told to contact the village by phone/email to request it. Also checked the village's Eldernet listing, no document link there either.
