We would like to move our father from a Brookdale in North Carolina to another assisted living community several hours away (not a Brookdale). We are currently in a month to month agreement. The reason for the move is to have father closer to his son.
Would you please provide some guidance on how to best handle this as far as – how long of a notice should we give, do we provide a letter, are there things to be aware of in the contract, or handling moving his items out?
Sincerly,
Something like that. Should be given to the Administer.
You are always required to give 30 day notice to allow the management time to schedule cleanings, painting and maintenance, as well as advertise the room. If you don't provide it, you may be responsible for an extra months rent. Brookdale is a large corporation and has attorney's on staff, they will pursue you. Easier to do it right.
I think your reason is explanation enough, so he can be closer to his son. I suppose I would try to give two weeks to a month notice. Others can advise further. Good luck!
