([[{{PAGENAME}}#References|2]])This may give the public the impression they have certain legal protections in respect of residential care agreements. | ||
In a strict legal sense, the admission agreements or contracts are future performance agreements: the service or final payment is not provided at the time of signing, but will be provided in the near future. However, these agreements have substantive differences from the typical future performance contracts in that the cluster of health and personal “services “ and “goods” provided in residential care are provided on an ongoing basis, may change as the person’s needs change, and can be essential to the person’s wellbeing. Some of the services are funded through government, others are not. | In a strict legal sense, the admission agreements or contracts are future performance agreements: the service or final payment is not provided at the time of signing, but will be provided in the near future.
