Very frustrating that the ALF my father is living in is insisting on 30 days notice for moving him out, even though his doctors have all agreed he needs more attentive care. I'm moving him out anyway, but sad that he has to deplete his bank account to pay for a month in a place he will not be. Is anyone aware of any recourse?
He's not even lived in this place one full month yet and we quickly determined he needed skilled care. I know the 30 days is to give them time to turn over the room, but he's barely put a dent it in. :(
I believe they refunded the "community fee" and waived part of the month's rent.
Read ur contract and see about the "care" part. With my Mom if she was in rehab for more than 2 wks, the care part dropped off. Lets say Dads full month was not till July 31st, you have paid for that. Todays the 11th and ur moving him. So August 10th is the 30 days. So you get prorated for the 10 days of the next month. You don't pay for the full month. Maybe just the rent and not the care because they are not giving it. ALs are like apts, ur there one day into the next month, and you pay the whole months rent.
Read the contract and then talk to the Administer/Director.
At my brother's ALF after a year residency the amount upon vacating a clean premises was fully refunded as per day you left. That is to say his room was not cleaned for one half month while moving out, nor available, but once that was done refund was in full. This was all stipulated in one of the most thorough contracts I have seen. They even said how much the yearly raise would be (3-5%) barring anything unforeseen (of course, then Covid hit). Inflation is a factor now, as well.
Wishing you good luck on this move.
