A lifetime deal is for the lifetime of the resident. See story from August.

Fourteen days after issuing the eviction notice, two Pacific Grove Senior Living officials informed Jean in person that “she would not be evicted and there would be paperwork coming to assure her of that fact,” according to friend Bob Sadler. In a letter to Jacques and other residents, Sanchez claimed that “there was never a decision to evict Ms. Jacques,” and that the Aug. 16 “three-day notice to pay or quit” from facility owner  Pacifica Senior Living was merely to inform the elderly resident that “it was now time to start seeking government subsidies to help her pay her expenses.”

So called lifetime contract not carried over to new owners.

Jacques has called Pacific Grove Senior Living her home for 22 years. On Aug. 16, the facility gave Jacques a three-day eviction notice. The notice states that Jacques must pay her outstanding balance of about $110,000 or vacate her unit.

The issue? It was Jacques’ understanding that she would be taken care of for life — regardless of whether she outlived her savings.

The eviction notice was issued by Pacifica Senior Living, the parent company for Pacific Grove Senior Living. When Pacifica acquired the facility from California-Nevada Methodist Homes in 2022, there was an expectation that existing contracts would be honored.

Though the previous owner’s contracts were grandfathered in, their policies were not.

President of Pacific Grove Senior Living’s Residents’ Association, Bob Sadler, says that contracts for “lifetime care” like the one Jacques signed were considered unconditional under the previous owners.
