          such as crutches, walkers, and wheelchairs and who are unable or            
          likely to be unable to respond physically or mentally to an                 
          emergency situation such as a fire.  The ALUs are also designed             
          for individuals who need care and supervision with the activities           
          of daily living, such as eating, bathing, and dressing.  The ALUs           
          are designed to provide occupants with a comfortable, homelike              
          atmosphere where they are encouraged to provide their own                   
          furniture, bedding, and linens.                                             
               During the years in issue, both AFVW residents and                     
          noncontract patients occupied rooms as patients in the ALU                  
          facilities.  AFVW residents who became patients in the ALUs                 
          received a 60-percent discount off the regular rate charged to              
          noncontract patients who occupied similar units as patients.                
                    3.   Special Care Units                                           
               The SCU at Village West is a special unit designed to                  
          provide living accommodations to individuals with diagnosed                 
          Alzheimer’s disease and/or similar forms of irreversible                    
          dementia.  Admission is based strictly on doctor’s orders.  The             
          SCU is fully enclosed, can only be accessed through a security-             
          locked door, and is manned 24 hours per day by nursing staff                
          members.  Patients in the SCU are provided the same services as             
          the individuals occupying the ALUs.  Additionally, other programs           
          are provided which are specially geared to enhancing the dignity            
          and lifestyle of patients during the remainder of their lives.
