I read an article from the Washington Post written by Michelle Andrews in our local Herald Tribune newspaper that really emphasized that you should not sign an arbitration agreement at a nursing home.

It further mentions that signing an arbitration agreement is not a condition of admission to a nursing facility. Click on link below to read more.
