Agreement Between Resident And Nursing Home (10 Pages)

This Form is an Agreement between a nursing home and a prospective resident to allow the resident to move into the nursing home where the resident will receive care. The Agreement requires the resident to assign all of the resident’s property to the nursing home in case it will be needed to provide for such care. The nursing home is given control over, but not absolute ownership of the assets of the resident. To the extent public assistance is available to the resident, it will be utilized for care, but the assets of the resident are not protected if they are necessary to cover the full cost of care at the nursing home’s regular rate, plus additional medical costs and other charges. The nursing home retains the right to discharge the resident for certain enumerated events constituting reasonable cause for discharge.
