Find Care & Housing
Usually the answer is no. Especially if they are not "nursing homes" that rely on medicaid help and accept government assistance.
In the case of my brother's ALF it was explained how much the cost could be "expected " to go up and when --it was 3% to 5% raise annually on the anniversary of becoming a resident. It made clear what levels of care consisted of, what the increase in cost of them was, that they did not accept governmental assistance plans such as medicaid. It made clear the amount of staff for each level of care. It made clear that there could be unexpected cost, expenses, inflationary things. Look where we are now, since he went in to such a facility about 4 years ago. We have Covid and we have rampant inflation. So, yeah. I bet the costs are worse. He avoided them by dying.
So I would say in general, the answer is probably not. Ask your facility. Speak to the administration. If they are one tenth as decent as the facility my brother was in then they will be happy to discuss all this with you.

The amount should be stated in the NH contract. In some states the amount is set by the state housing authority. My nursing home contract states 6% once annually.
