  Disclosure: Nothing to Disclose

This session will address the fundamentals of an assisted living agreement, whose primary objective is the financial arrangement between the community and the resident. The legal requirements and benefits of a comprehensive resident agreement are vital to the business and to mitigate risk. We will look at spend down provisions, Medicaid policies, levels of care, financial criteria, breaches, discharge, and guaranty of payment by a responsible party.

Learning Objectives:

• The legal requirements of the resident agreement.
• Levels of care and associated financial issues.
• Spend down provisions and transitioning from private pay to Medicaid.
