Don't you dare sign that nursing home admission for your mom until you check for one word: arbitration. It's going to be buried in the paperwork, but if it's there, it means that if anything goes wrong with your mom, if they cause her death for some reason, you cannot sue. You can't go to trial. You can't get a jury. What you will get is 3 lawyers who will decide the case. But the truth is, in most situations, you'll sign it anyway because you're terrified and nobody told you what to ask. That's why the Aging Parent section of my Life Event Kit includes a section on questions to to ask before you sign anything. I give you the exact words so you're not blindsided.
