§ 81078. Responsibility for Providing Care and Supervision.
(b) In any instance where the Department does not suspend the facility license and the licensing agency requires that a client be relocated, as specified in Section 81094, the licensee shall prepare a written relocation plan. The plan shall contain all necessary steps to be taken to reduce stress to the client which may result in transfer trauma.
(A) A specific date for beginning and a specific date for completion of the process of safely relocating the client. The time frame for relocation may provide for immediate relocation but shall not exceed 30 days or 30 days after the date of the written conclusion of the client's appeal of the relocation order, if appealed.
(C) A specific date when consultation with the client's physician shall occur to obtain a current medical assessment of the client's health needs, to determine the appropriate facility type for relocation and to ensure that the client's health care needs continue to be met at all times during the relocation process.
(D) The method by which the licensee shall participate in the identification of an acceptable relocation site with the client and the authorized representative if any. The licensee shall advise the client and/or the authorized representative that if the client is to be moved to another nonmedical community care facility, a determination must be made that the client's needs can be legally met in the new facility before the move is made. If the client's needs cannot be legally met in the new facility, the client must be moved to a facility licensed to provide the necessary care.
(E) A list of contacts made or to be made by the licensee with community resources, including but not limited to, social workers, family members, Long Term Care Ombudsman, clergy and others as appropriate to ensure that services are provided to the client before, during and after the move. The need for the move shall be discussed with the client and the client assured that support systems will remain in place.
(5) The licensee shall comply with all terms and conditions of the approved plan. No written or oral contract with any other person shall release the licensee from the responsibility specified in sections 81078(b) and (c) for relocating a client who has a health condition(s) which cannot be cared for in the facility and/or requires inpatient care in a licensed health facility, nor from taking necessary actions to reduce stress to the client.
(6) In cases where the licensing agency determines that the resident is in imminent danger because of a health condition(s) which cannot be cared for in the facility or which requires inpatient care in a licensed health facility, the licensing agency shall have the authority to order the licensee to immediately relocate the resident.
