Terms & Condition

THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS (THE “TERMS AND CONDITIONS”) ARE HEREBY INCORPORATED AS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE TRUE FREEDOM ENROLLMENT AND SERVICE CONTRACT (COLLECTIVELY, THE “AGREEMENT”) BETWEEN AMERICAN SENIOR SERVICES, INC., A FLORIDA CORPORATION (“ASSI”), AND THE MEMBER NAMED IN AND WHO SIGNED THE AGREEMENT (“YOU”).

THIS AGREEMENT IS NOT INSURANCE BUT RATHER CONSTITUTES A SERVICE CONTRACT. THIS IS NOT A REPLACEMENT FOR ANY INSURANCE POLICY. IT IS NOT INTENDED TO BE UTILIZED AT THE TIME OF ENROLLMENT. (REVIEW SUITABILITY TO VALIDATE YOUR PURCHASE BELOW.) Members need to choose the best plan within their budget at the time of enrollment. There are no upgrades. Members can choose to downgrade on the yearly renewal date. A member must be able to live independently at the time of enrollment and cannot currently need or receive any assistance (including from family members) with activities such as bathing, dressing, transferring, and any other activities of daily living. If the intent upon enrollment is to go on service for a current condition following the initial 90-day Waiting Period, that would not be a suitable membership. ASSI’s membership program arranges for non-medical services to be provided in the comfort of your own home, either:

ANYTIME HOME CARE SERVICES CAN BE UTILIZED ANY DAY /EVENING /NIGHT, INCLUDING WEEKENDS AND OVERNIGHT SERVICE (OR 24 HOURS/ 7 DAYS A WEEK LIVE-IN SERVICE), UP TO THE TOTAL NUMBER OF HOURS SPECIFIED UNDER THE PLAN THAT YOU PURCHASE. At the time that you designate a friend or neighbor for the anytime home care service, you will sign a release of assi from any liability for injuries or damages caused by your friend or neighbor. American Senior Services, Inc. must also approve the selected friend or neighbor. Pre-authorized requests of 8 hours or more will be considered as 24-hour live-in services for that day. PAYMENT WILL NOT EXCEED $150 FOR A LIVE-IN FRIEND OR NEIGHBOR IN ANY GIVEN 24-HOUR PERIOD.

AGENCY HOME CARE SERVICE UP TO FIVE (5) HOURS A DAY, MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY BET W EEN 9:00 A.M. AND 5:00 P.M. BY A NETWORK AGENCY EXCLUDING NATIONAL HOLIDAYS AND WEEKENDS. PAYMENTS TO NETWORK AGENCIES CANNOT EXCEED $150.00 A DAY. ASSI may change AGENCY service providers at any time. In order to receive the AGENCY Home Care Service hours or the ANYTIME Home Care Service hours, your membership must be in effect for ninety (90) days (the “Waiting Period”), during which you cannot use any of the hours. Once the Waiting Period has elapsed, AGENCY Home Care Service hours and ANYTIME Home Care Service hours can be mixed and matched, up to the total number of hours specified under the plan that you purchase: provided, however, that both AGENCY Home Care Service hours and ANYTIME Home Care Service hours cannot be utilized in the same day. AGENCY HOME CARE SERVICE WILL NOT BE AUTHORIZED BY ASSI TO TRANSPORT MEMBERS.

Not withstanding the preceding paragraph, at any time after your membership has been active for ten (10) days, if a temporary situation arises during the remainder of the Waiting Period, then you may request EMERGENCY CARE BENEFITS during the Waiting Period, which may be AGENCY Home Care Services or ANYTIME Home Care Services, with the maximum service hours available being ten percent (10%) of the initial segment of hours specified under your plan.

The Lifetime Membership Hours of each plan are equally divided into ten (10) separate segments. Once the service hours in the initial segment have been exhausted, following a 90-day Reset Period (of non-use), the 2nd segment of plan hours of membership can be accessed. A total of nine (9) Reset Periods occur, separating each segment of hours that add up to the total Lifetime Membership Hours of a contract. All plans cover twelve (12) months (each a “Term”). Unused hours from a preceding term will roll over and must be utilized before service hours in a new segment can be accessed following a 90-day Reset Period. The Home Care Hours of any plan can reset for up to the “Maximum Lifetime Membership Hours,” which is a total of 10 times the initial segment of hours of your chosen plan. Multiple segments of hours can be utilized with in a twelve (12) month term within the parameters of the contract. Contracts must be kept current through all periods of membership and continued access to any unused service hours in a chosen plan.

Non-use discount will discontinue when home care service is activated and will return to the current membership fee on the next payment due for the remainder of the membership. Service is not available outside of United States, assisted living facilities, nursing homes, and hospital confinement.

CANCELLATION
If a member fails to make a payment, ASSI will terminate the membership contract. In addition, all memberships include a one-time 10-day cancellation period.
