I'll bet the lawyers made sure the contracts are without loopholes.

What I found interesting and extremely annoying, predatory, is retirement home and LTCs management teams will do their best to figure out a person's income. and raise rents accordingly.

For example every senior receives a government benefit, so when it's increased rents are increased accordingly.

Net result? As inflation increases, the senior's buying power DEcreases. If they are living on government benefits eventually they can't afford to buy new clothing or shoes, replace mattresses or bedding, buy incontinence supplies, and so on.
Imagine not being able to buy a comfortable mattress, or new shoes. It happens. I've seen it.

edit:

Here's the fee schedule from the Ontario government

Note: In order to receive a subsidy, for example if one is on ODSP, the government takes away nearly all of your income and leaves the resident with last I heard it was $78.00 a month--that's for soap, shampoo, toilet paper, deodorant, shaving supplies, clothing, shoes, phone and cable, hair cuts, and recreation like books and crafts.

Well, its 2 weeks until moving day! Newly retired, I am downsizing to a 1 bedroom, barrier free, accessible unit in a non profit housing coop. The units were designed for aging in place.

While I'm happy parents and in-law parents have started sorting out their 'stuff' as they all realize aging is not stopping, I'm not sure if this collection of hundreds and hundreds of DVD's collected in the last few decades is an offline blessing or a storage curse.

Tondelier publiera mercredi un livret sur les questions liées à la solitude, selon la Tribune Dimanche. La patronne des Ecolos veut s’emparer de ce thème trop peu évoqué à ses yeux dans la société et fera un déplacement ce lundi à Paris, pour rencontrer les acteurs qui luttent contre l’isolement des seniors. De quoi la faire réfléchir sur son propre isolement au sein de la gauche et dans son parti face à une primaire qui patine?
