Before you move an older person into a nursing home, check whether it is registered with the civil affairs department (民政部门) and sign a written agreement; the deposit is at most 12 months of bed fees and must be paid into a dedicated bank account

In plain words

A legitimate nursing home must be registered with the civil affairs department and must sign a written agreement with you. The deposit may be at most 12 months of bed fees, and service fees may be collected at most 12 months in advance. The deposit and membership fees must be paid into a dedicated account the home has opened at a bank. If it goes over the cap, asks you to transfer money to a private account, or gives only a receipt and no invoice, don't pay yet.
