BILL NUMBER:S3854
TITLE OF BILL: An act authorizing the study of fees and charges
assessed to residents of assisted living facilities
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this bill is to authorize a study that will review the
rate of the fees and charges being assessed to residents of assisted
living facilities.
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:
Directs the Office of the Aging to study the fees and charges being
assessed to residents of assisted living facilities.
JUSTIFICATION:
Residents of these assisted living facilities should not have to worry
about affording their stay in these facilities as a result of fees and
charges, such as their rent, increasing a substantial amount over
time. Most of the people that move into these homes are single and
they budget their expenditures according to a particular amount of
rent for a certain amount of years. When these residents find that the
increases have changed their financial plans to the point where they
can no longer afford their stay, they are left with few to no options.
