Statute text

(a)(1) The department may order the licensee to remove a resident who has a health condition which cannot be cared for within the limits of the license or requires inpatient care in a health facility as determined by the department pursuant to Section 1568.07.

(2)When the department determines that the resident’s mental or physical condition requires immediate transfer from the facility in order to protect the health and safety of the resident, the department may order the licensee to remove the resident after the department consults with a physician or other medical professional about the transfer and ways in which transfer trauma can be minimized.

(b)(1) When the department determines that a resident has a health condition which cannot be cared for within the limits of the license or requires inpatient care in a health facility, the department shall give notice to the resident, his or her legal representative when appropriate, his or her physician when applicable, his or her case manager when applicable, and the licensee. The notice shall specify a deadline for submitting a written plan for relocation and inform the resident of his or her right for a review and determination. The resident, or his or her legal representative, shall have three working days to inform the licensee of the request for review. The licensee shall forward the request to the department within two working days of receipt. Failure or refusal by the licensee to submit the request to the department may subject the licensee to the civil penalties as specified in Section 1568.0822. The department shall not refuse to consider the request if the licensee fails or refuses to submit the request to the department.
