32 | The facility provided R1’s three assessment that were conducted between March and April of 2020. R1’s admissions agreement indicates that a change in level in care would result in an immediate increase in fees if the change exceeds the current level of care. Facility documents shows that when R1 was initially admitted into the facility, R1 was at a Level 5 care but increased to a Level 6 after observing that R1 needed a higher level of care. R1’s responsible party was notified via e-mail and was given a 30 day delay in increasing the rates before it went into effect. Although R1's responsible party was notified and given a 30 day delay period before increasing the rates, the facility is not required to provide notice when the results of the increase in rates is due to an increase in level of care. Facility fully assessed R1, generated a new care plan, and informed R1’s responsible party before the increase in fees went into effect.
