[WSBAPT] Assisted Living - Private Pay Agreement

[Neli Espe, J.D. - Olympic Legal]

Listmates,

PNC placed spouse in assisted living and signed a contract which states that 30-day notice is required for person to move out. Client was required and paid for the full month a substantial amount of money. Spouse was very sick and after only a couple of days requested to go home to essentially pass away in peace. Spouse in fact away in a day or so.

The facility refuses to consider issuing a refund as its agreement states that the 30-day notice requirement is subject to two exceptions only:
either person passes away in the facility or
has to move to the hospital.

PNC is quite upset and feels this is potentially unconscionable.

Would anyone practicing in this area be available to help? Are such clauses common practice in the assisted living industry?

Thanks,

Neli Espe
