Experience with private, assisted living, memory care facility care plan to be signed by responsible party and hcp.
Any experience with a private, assisted living, memory care facility care plan? They want the health care proxy to sign it yet it has written on it "responsible party" not "health care proxy." I told them in the facility in the initial interviews I do not sign as "responsible party." Why would a HCP document be listed as "responsible party?" They are two different things.
Ideally before I sign anything related to admission, I want my elder care attorney to review it. I also refuse to sign anything electronically.
The facility keeps upping the admission date due to bed becoming available. It was not supposed to start till mid-October. Now they want next week.
I found conflicting information in the admission contract that the geriatric case manager my brother hired told me. She also just wrote me a rude and unprofessional note. The admission staff stated wrong information "we don't use medications here," seemed like a red flag.
Any experience? I sense there is no perfect facility but since it is private pay it better be very good and not have initial signs of integrity issues. I hear admission staff can be more like real estate agents.

I think that you may have problems with any care facility.
I do think that you may find here, as perhaps you have in past, the administrative staff telling you that they feel you may be happier somewhere else.
I do know that where my brother was staying, STELLAR as they were, as caring and trying as hard as they did, they were VERY QUICK to tell unhappy clients that they would be happier somewhere else. Thanks goodness.
Generally, a care plan is done by the staff predominantly for health care needs.
A health care plan would be acknowledged with the signature of the health care proxy.
If you don't wish to sign, don't.
To be crystal clear here in this post, and in others about your loved one, the Forum can be of little use to you. This is all between you, your loved one, and the facilities serving you. I do certainly wish you the very best. If you have a GOOD care facility, I would TREASURE it and treat it like the gold it is.
