{{DEMOWARNING}}
{{Legal Issues in Residential Care: An Advocate's Manual TOC}}
Applicants faced with an admission contract should not sign it if they do not understand it. Retaining a lawyer or trained advocate may be appropriate in these circumstances.
An admission agreement must not contain clauses that are illegal. The clauses will not be enforceable. People cannot contract out of their human rights and Operators cannot contract out of the legal responsibilities under the Community Care and Assisted Living Act, or other law.
