Before signing any agreement, consider having an attorney or a senior living advocate from Advocates for Senior Living review the contract (and supporting documentation) to ask detailed questions about all potential costs. Senior living can be as much as buying a house, so don’t go into an agreement without someone representing you.
Advocates for Senior Living is here to advocate for you and we can ask the questions you need asked!
