We found a place for dad and can move him before 30 days but the independent living is requiring that we pay for 30 days of rent even though we can move him out before that time. In other words, they are kicking him out so we found a place and can move him in 10 days but the independent living place wants their money for the full 30 days. We can't pay rent at 2 places. Is this legal to charge for 30 days of rent by the independent living company when they are kicking our father out?
It might be different if YOU chose to move him out VS THEY ask him to leave.
Are they asking him to leave INDEPENDENT LIVING because he needs more help and his care if past what is safe in Independent Living? Does he need Assisted Living or possibly even Memory Care?
If you find that you do have to pay for the full 30 days then take your time moving his items out. Have a few meals there since you are paying for them.
Wishing you the best of luck. I, like others, worry (given the "kicked out") whether this is a correct level-of-care placement? I hope all goes well at the new place.
It is not uncommon for this 30 days to be stated regardless of why or when he leaves .
