The contract does not address rate increases except when level of care has changed - I received no notice of a level change. They say this is "across the board" to all self-pay individuals. The increase will cost us about two thousand dollars a year. We received no notice.
It was like this at all the various facilities our LO’s were in .
In many states, assisted living facilities must give written notice before any rent increase, unless the contract clearly allows otherwise.
It may be worth reviewing the contract carefully and contacting your local long-term care ombudsman.
If your state's housing law allows them to just go up on the rent, they don't have to warn you or anything. Call your state's housing authority.
If you're dealing with a nursing home or AL facility, they pretty much get away with anything they want with zero consequences.
