Contract Decoder
Memory care admission agreements are written by facility lawyers for facility lawyers. Send us yours — we translate every fee escalation, discharge trigger, and arbitration clause into plain language you can act on.
§ What we translate
Monthly fees & escalation clauses
What triggers rate increases, how much notice is required, and what limits (if any) exist.
Discharge & transfer grounds
The exact conditions under which a facility may ask a resident to leave — and how to evaluate their legitimacy.
Levels-of-care pricing
How acuity tiers are defined, measured, and billed — and whether the definitions give the facility unilateral authority to upgrade.
Arbitration clauses
Whether you are waiving your right to sue in open court and under what terms.
Ancillary fee schedules
À la carte charges for medications, transport, incontinence supplies, and activities that don't appear in the headline rate.
§ Questions
What is the Contract Decoder?
You send us your memory care admission agreement (PDF). A human reviewer maps every fee, rate-increase clause, and discharge trigger into a plain-language summary emailed back to you. We do not provide legal advice — we translate regulatory and contractual jargon into terms families can act on.
Is this legal advice?
No. This is educational document translation. We explain what contract clauses typically mean in plain English. For legal advice on specific disputes or signing decisions, consult an elder-law attorney (see NAELA.org).
How long does the review take?
Typically 2 business days. We email you the plain-language breakdown at the address you provide.
Is this service free?
Yes, currently. We are validating demand before deciding whether to formalize this as a product. That means manual turnaround — we review every submission personally.
What types of documents can you review?
Memory care admission agreements, residency agreements, and related RCFE or ALF contracts. We focus on the clauses that matter most: monthly fees and escalation terms, discharge and transfer grounds, arbitration clauses, and levels-of-care pricing.
