How Long Is a Lease or Contract at an Assisted Living Facility?

Leases and contracts vary from facility to facility, but overall, most assisted living facilities are flexible in their options. Individuals’ needs are constantly changing as they age, so it’s hard to tell how long an individual will need a certain level of care. This works both ways, as some people need more care, and others may find they actually need less care. That’s why month-to-month contract are not uncommon. Though some facilities offer a decreased rate for longing contracts/leases, this is not the case with all places. Before signing any lease or contract, be sure to have an idea of your needs and take into account any medical conditions.
