The Gracious Living Senior Care Facility has an Alzheimer's unit. All residents live in the regular care ward or the Alzheimer's care ward. Assume no new residents come for a full year and that the only way residents leave is if they die. In any month, 85% of residents in the regular care ward stay there, 10% move to the Alzheimer's care ward and 5% die. In any month, 75% of residents in the Alzheimer's care ward stay there and 25% die.
