HighlightsJean Jacques, 96, received a three-day eviction notice from her senior living home after 22 years.The eviction notice claims she must pay $110,000 or vacate her unit, despite a lifetime care contract.Jean paid a $250,000 deposit and $5,000 monthly until 2018, expecting lifetime housing.
Nevertheless, it was Jean’s understanding that she would be taken care of for life — regardless of whether she outlived her savings,KSBWreported on August 26.
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,KSBWreported.

Jean, who is happy,healthy,and full of life, reportedly said that in 2002, she signed a lifetime contract with the previous owner, California Nevada Methodist Homes, that said she could live there for the rest of her life.
She had paid a $250,000 down deposit and has been paying $5,000 a month since then until she ran out of savings in 2018. Jean was shocked because the reason she moved into the Forest Hill Manor was to betaken care offor the rest of her life.

President of Pacific Grove Senior Living’s Residents’ Association, Bob Sadler, reportedly explained that contracts for“lifetime care”like the one Jean signed were considered unconditional under the previous owners.
Because some residents pass away before their contract finishes, evictions were not issued to those who outlived their savings. Bob told the Californian broadcaster: “[Jean’s] devoted all of her savings and money to this place.
Just one month after celebrating her 96th birthday in July, the facility gave Jean the notice
“What would you do? Can [you] see her out on the sidewalk? I don’t think so. I mean, that’s just insane to me.”
He added: “I don’t care what the legal ramifications are here. This ismorally unthinkable.”

Additionally, the notice did not include instructions on how to appeal, as Elizabeth stated: “You do get angry knowing that it’s anelderly person. Where is this person going to go?”
According to the eviction notice, Jean owes over $100,000 in late rent, and she must pay now or be evicted.
“I’m not going,” Jean toldKSBW. “They’ll have to bury me because I have no place to go. They have all my money.”
