As a moderator on BP for years, though I've been away for awhile, I've answered this question many times in one form or another.

Most years I have had moderate income (last year less than 6 digits of taxable income). 

Existing facilities for the most part are so close to institutionalization for lower and moderate income people that not using them would be a selling tool to get more clients.
