I placed my father in an ALF about 5 years ago. At the time, paperwork was signed stating how much the fees could be raised annually. The amount was a percentage that would have only added up to a couple of hundred dollars per month. The ALF was sold about 2 years ago. Since then they have instated a daily charge depending on the care needed by the resident. These charges range from $0 to $41 daily. So the additional charge could be about $1200 per month. My question is, should the ALF go by the original contract that was signed, or can they do whatever they want to since they bought the facility? My father is a 99 year old WWII veteran and I think this is horrible treatment and I cannot afford it, would hate to have to move him somewhere else at this stage in his life.
