Silverback Contracts · Nursing home admission agreement

The nursing home admission agreement, read before you sign it.

It usually gets signed by an adult child on the worst day of the year, at a front desk, with a stack of forms. Two of those signatures matter more than the rest.

Upload it free. Every page gets read and you see the three problems that would cost you most. Analysis, not legal advice.

What people miss

Three clauses to check before you sign

Signing as the responsible party

Federal rules bar a nursing home from requiring a family member to guarantee payment as a condition of admission. Read the signature line - signing as a guarantor can make the bill yours.

An arbitration agreement in the stack

Federal rules do not allow an agreement to arbitrate disputes as a condition of admission, and they give you 30 days to rescind one after signing.

Discharge and bed-hold terms

Check when the facility can discharge a resident, what happens to the room during a hospital stay, and what that costs.

The clock

If you signed an arbitration agreement with a nursing home, federal rules give you 30 calendar days to rescind it.
