We got an updated Agreement to sign stating if my FIL goes to a hospital (or anywhere) for an extended period of time, we not only pay to 'hold' his room, but we must also pay for his Level of Care fees, which in his case is over $800. I can't see this being legal since the resident won't even be in the assisted living facility to receive personal care.

When my DH aunt was in an ALF, they explained the rates could change with no advance notice and did.
I suppose they could make the case that they are staffed according to the residents needs and they have to pay the staff whether he is there or not?
Its unfair to think her room will be unpaid for a length of time. Its just like ifvshe hadvan apt. She would still need to pay the rent. Her care, they aren't doing it, so why get paid.

I understand the rental having to be paid, but meals and cleaning and meds and everything else is not being done. So I don't understand that.
I would discuss with facility Admins.
