Hi, I am so angry I can barely speak! I placed my loved one (parent) in EMI residential 5 weeks ago and asked the weekly charges. Told a figure and informed that price would increase in April in line with benefits increase - no surprise there then. Told today, 5 weeks later the increase will be £45 per week from original quote! LO will be self funding from next week when made permanent. A tad excessive - L O will need deferred payments till house sold upon death. Can they legally hike up their charges by that much? Is it a breach of verbal contract? I'm so upset that I they feel they can do this to private paying residents.
