AnnotationThis brochure follows the publication "Guidance on unfair terms in care home contracts: a guide for professional advisers" (October 2003). It is designed to help in deciding whether the terms of a care home contract are fair. It draws attention to what care homes provide as information in their brochures or guides, and what should be in a contract. It outlines what constitutes unfair terms and the sorts of terms to watch out for, and gives a list of useful contacts for further advice. As this is only a simple guide, it should not be relied on as a complete statement on the law. (RH).
