My contract says if they pull or are terminated for any reason during the trial period (2 weeks) I will refund the deposit.
Thanks! I think I may keep with the one week deposit for the first week, and then have them pay an additional one week deposit for the last week of care (due when the one month trial is over). Most of the people we interview couldn't afford two or three week deposit upfront. And that makes sense that they would be giving a notice as they are paying for the next week and you have the deposit to cover for the following week.
