My Dads ALF, where he has been for three years, has had another change in management. So the new manager called yesterday to access his care plan, and points. He came out to about the same points, but the price has gone from 7200. per month to right at $10,000 a month. For the same service! Can they do this? We are in Oregon. thank you in advance
If not then "it is what it is" (I hate that phrase!)
ALF are private business and can increase fees and charge what the market will bear. /so I am sure what the response would be is...you are free to go elsewhere. But if that is a possibility make sure there are no fees for breaking a contract. And other facilities in your area may be charging what dad will be paying if there is no move made.
Honestly if this is the first increase in 3 years consider yourself lucky they are just brining the fee up to market standard.
Speak with the administration. Know that these are independent business models that make their rules. While they are having to follow some state rules they are not federal government obligated in terms of rules and regs.
Best of luck.
