Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is investigating whether Sunrise on Connecticut Avenue failed to adequately disclose level-of-care charges that substantially increased residents’ monthly costs after admission.
What Consumers Report
Consumers and family members report:
- Being quoted a base monthly rental rate before moving into Sunrise on Connecticut Avenue.
- Receiving limited information about additional care tiers or service packages.
- Learning after admission that Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, or higher care charges applied.
- Facing monthly increases of hundreds or thousands of dollars.
- Being told that a nurse’s assessment required the higher care level.
- Having little ability to challenge the assessment or resulting fee.
- Receiving invoices that substantially exceeded the price discussed during tours.
Why Consumers Should Be Concerned
Level-of-care charges may be a material part of the true monthly price of assisted living or memory care. If fee schedules are omitted from brochures, tours, or pre-admission disclosures, residents may be unable to compare facilities accurately before signing a contract with Sunrise on Connecticut Avenue and moving in.
Potential Claims May Include
- False or misleading price representations
- Failure to disclose material fees
- Unfair and deceptive trade practices
- Consumer protection violations
- Breach of contract
- Unjust enrichment
