Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is investigating whether The Residences at Thomas Circle misled residents by promoting a continuum of care or aging-in-place model while later requiring residents to relocate when their care needs increased.
What Consumers Report
Consumers and family members report:
- Selecting the community because it promoted a continuum of care.
- Believing The Residences at Thomas Circle residents would not need to move as their health needs changed.
- Receiving a short-notice discharge or transfer notice.
- Being told the facility could no longer meet the resident’s needs.
- Being unable to access an available skilled-nursing bed within the community.
- Paying ambulance, transfer, relocation, or overlapping rent costs.
- Having to find another facility during a medical crisis.
Why Consumers Should Be Concerned
“Aging in place” and “continuum of care” representations can be central to a family’s decision to select a senior-living community. If internal capacity, licensing restrictions, or discharge policies make continued residence uncertain, those limitations should be clearly disclosed before admission.
Potential Claims May Include
- False advertising
- Misrepresentation of continuum-of-care services
- Failure to disclose discharge limitations
- Consumer protection violations
- Unfair and deceptive trade practices
- Breach of contract
- Restitution for transfer-related expenses
