Lack of nursing home contract oversight can cause confusion
Posted on Apr 29, 2009
Sometimes a nursing home is a must for some families who are unable to provide the level of care required by their aging loved one. However, finding the right home and making sense of all the paperwork that has to be signed can be very confusing.
Compounding the confusion is the fact that there are no state or federal regulations to govern billing practices in some private nursing home facilities. This means that there are no limitations on what a private nursing home can charge for care.
In some cases family members have been shocked to be billed for weeks or days of care after their loved one died, all justified by the nursing home as per the contract.
When searching for the right nursing home experts advise families to have an attorney review the nursing home contract before you sign it. While the fee for such a review may seem pricey, it could save you a great deal of money and heartache in the end.
