Description
{1} This appeal arises from a class action lawsuit contesting fee increases at Manzano Del Sol Good Samaritan Village (Manzano), an independent living facility for senior citizens. Evangelical Good Samaritan Society (Good Samaritan), Defendant in this class action, is a nonprofit corporation that owns and operates more than two hundred independent living facilities nationwide, including the Manzano facility in Albuquerque. Plaintiffs lawsuit alleged that from July 30, 1993 to July 30, 1999, Good Samaritan imposed rate increases on residents at Manzano in violation of the standards set forth in their contracts (Entrance Agreements) and in the Continuing Care Act, NMSA 1978, §Â§ 24-17-1 to -18 (1985, as amended through 2005). This is our first occasion to consider the provisions of the Continuing Care Act. For the reasons stated below, we agree with Plaintiffs and reverse the Court of Appeals.
