32 | Allegation: Facility increased resident's rental and care rate without notice.
The complaint alleged the facility increased R1's rental and care rate without notifying R1 or their representative.
On 06/08/2021 LPA reviewed R1's admission agreement. The admission agreement indicates R1 was admitted into the facility on 03/31/2021 and their representative agreed to pay an initial community fee of $2000.00 and a monthly fee, to cover care and rent, of $9870.00. LPA reviewed R1's payment ledger on 06/08/2021 which indicates R1 was charged the community fee and total care and rent fee of $9780.00 for the month of April 2021. R1's records reviewed on 06/08/2021 indicate on 03/31/2021, R1's representative signed a document showing the new cost of care for R1 was $4825.00. The document indicates the new cost of care was effective on 03/31/2021; R1 was charged $4875.00 on 04/01/2021 for cost of care and $4825.00 for the months of May and June 2021. On 06/10/2021, LPA spoke with a facility accountant who stated they would credit R1 $50.00 for the month of April 2021. No additional costs for care and/or rent were observed.
Due to the information provided, LPA finds the allegation to be UNFOUNDED, meaning that the allegation is false, could not have happened, and/or is without a reasonable basis.
