[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everything in life is negotiable. Call and ask them if you can do $5500 per month.[/quote]

Definitely this. Try to negotiate. I am sure their budget is built to expect not everyone paying for freight. I’m sure there are significant costs involved when it comes to losing a patient and bringing on a new patient. Unless you guys are problematic for them I’m sure they would much rather you stay.[/quote]

Damn right. Ask them for a breakdown of where the additional costs are going. [/quote]

Good luck with that.  What on earth makes you think you are entitled to that information, or that they would give it to you?  When the price of a tomato goes up, do you think the grocery store is obligated to tell you where the increase is allocated?  [/quote]

Agree. Please do not ask them this. Some nursing homes will oust patients based on “being unable to care for them,” when it could really be about not wanting to deal with annoying family members.  Trust me, you need them more than they need you, particularly when dealing with what a prior PP identified as likely late stage dementia.[/quote]
