This document will act as a medical release and will only be shared with providers related to admission and or care services. 

ELDER Placements partners are not considered providers and will not be liable or responsible for the acts or omissions of a housing and/or care provider. Clients will not be asked to sign waivers of potential liability for losses of potential property or injury or to sign waivers of any rights of clients established by state or federal laws.

ELDER Placements represents both the Resident and the Senior Housing and Care Provider. Senior Housing and Care Provider pays us a referral fee for clients that choose to use their services.  Referral fees are charged according to individual contracted terms with Senior Housing and Care Provider and are due from providers after the client takes financial responsibility. Referral fees cannot be passed onto the client. This is stated in the contract we have with Senior Housing and Care Provider. Refunds to Senior Housing and Care Provider are given if a client passes away, is hospitalized, or is transferred to a setting with a more appropriate level of care within the first 30 days of admission as agreed upon in the contract. 

ELDER Placements partners will refer only to facilities that have been toured and contracted. The Senior Housing and Care Providers are required per our contract to update us regularly on the status of their facility license and state inspections outcomes.
