How many days written notice must a facility provide prior to a change in any fee or charge?

The requirement for a facility to provide written notice prior to a change in any fee or charge is set at 30 days. This regulation ensures that residents have ample time to prepare for the upcoming financial changes and allows them to discuss any concerns they may have with the management. By having a 30-day notice period, residents are better informed and can make necessary arrangements rather than facing sudden or unexpected financial burdens. This practice promotes transparency and can also enhance the trust between residents and facility management. It's an important part of maintaining a positive living environment in assisted living facilities.
