Can the new owners/managers of a memory care facility force my mom to sign a new resident agreement? If she refuses, can they kick her out?

I just went and reread you other post. A member Karsten is a lawyer and she explained that if your Mom has a contract with the former owner, the new owners have to honor it. If there is a date where the constract is no longer valid, than the new owners don't need to honor it.

You need to read Moms contract and you need to find out what the agreement of sale says. Then you need to consult with a lawyer what Moms rights are. I really don't think you have anyway around this. Mom either complies or she finds another AL. Karsten gave you some legal advise but the rest of us are not lawyers. Also, every State is different. My State has rent control. Some don't. You really need a lawyer. If u can't afford one there is legal aid that charges by income.

You did get answers on your first question. We really can't help u here. You need a lawyer that maybe can request the agreement of sale. In that agreement it may say that residents prior agreements have to be honored. If there is a lease, like for a year. I am pretty sure that new owners have to abide by that lease until the year is up. After that, they have their own rules and rent amount. If the tenant does not want to pay a higher rent and follow the rules, then the tenent looks for another place. The new owner does not even have to renew the persons lease. If lease is 30days, then changes can be made monthly.

So my answer is yes, they can make Mom sign a new agreement. And if she does not sign it, they can ask her to leave. Sorry, ALs are businesses as are any of the care facilities. Your agreement was with the former owners and the new owners are not obliged to honor it.

Yes, a privately owned facilty can ask your mother to sign their new resident agreement and require her to move out if she refuses.

Since they are the new owners, I guess their rules apply now, and you must follow them.

Even if you try to fight this with a lawyer, you’ll probably lose. Facilities know every loophole to win. The new manager already thought of all that, before demanding you to sign the new contract.

You can try to fight this on your own: but you’ve probably already confronted the new manager. Did he say, “My facility, my rules”?

Ask other family members at the facility how they’re handling the problem.

Although a lot of work for you, if necessary change facility.
