  1. 3 Major Tips For Reviewing An Assisted Living Agreement

  2. Before you step into your new assisted living center, it is highly important for you to read carefully through the resident agreement. If you are planning to move to a senior home, don't be afraid to ask for a large-print copy. It can be an exciting and sometimes stressful time when you are preparing to move into an assisted living facility. It is a good idea that before you make any final agreements to check on the most essential things you will need. It is very important that you research what the resident agreement tells you about the facility and then sign all of the contracts carefully. Check out these tips that will help you understand your resident agreement.

  3. Check For The Funds Being Paid There can be many documents that are included in a Resident Agreement. But there is one document which has to be signed by "Authorized Representative", "Agent for Resident", "Responsible Party", or simply saying a person who will take responsibility paying for your care. Here, if none of your friend or family member is paying from their own funds for your care, make sure that the document they sign must state "only to the extent of the resident’s personal funds and/or resources".

  4. Ask For The Services You Will Receive Your contract must have a statement of the level of care you require, i.e. the services you need should be included. For the rate that is being charged, you should not only see your service packages, and fees for service rates, but also it should show all other non-service related charges clearly. Also, you need to confirm whether the facility will provide transportation, or will they help you arrange for an outside transportation service when required.

  5. Confirm Medical Or Health Care Assistance It needs to be clearly stated in the contract how often health care professionals, doctors, therapists, nurses, etc. will be coming to the facility. Plus, the contract should specify what kinds of health services will be provided to you by staff. Will they be helping you with medications? Or will they be calling in your prescriptions to the pharmacy? Are they willing to arrange prescription delivery for you?

  6. These were just the basics of what a resident agreement generally consists of. Be careful with these three essentials, and don't be afraid to ask about any questions or concern that you have before signing.
