§ 87637. Health Condition Relocation Order.
(a) If a resident has a health condition which cannot be cared for within the limits of the license, requires inpatient care in a health facility, or has a health condition prohibited by Section 87455(c) or Section 87615, Prohibited Health Conditions, the Department shall order the licensee to relocate the resident.
(1) The Department shall give written notice to the licensee ordering the relocation of the resident and informing the licensee of the resident's right to an interdisciplinary team review of the relocation order as specified in Section 87638, Resident Request for Review of Health Condition Relocation Order. Notice of the health condition relocation order and information about the right to request an interdisciplinary team review of the relocation order shall be given to the resident, by the Department, and sent to the resident's responsible person, if any.
(C) A specific date when consultation with the resident's physician, and hospice agency, if any, shall occur to obtain a current medical assessment of the resident's health needs, to determine the appropriate facility type for relocation and to ensure that the resident'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 resident and the responsible person, if any. The licensee shall advise the resident and/or the responsible person that if the resident is to be moved to another residential care facility for the elderly, a determination must be made that the resident's needs can be legally met in the new facility before the move is made. If the resident's needs cannot be legally met in the new facility, the resident 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, Multipurpose Senior Services Programs and others as appropriate to ensure that services are provided to the resident before, during and after the move. The need for the move shall be discussed with the resident and the resident assured that support systems will remain in place.
(6) 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 this section or Section 87223, Relocation of Residents, for relocating a resident who has a health condition(s) which cannot be cared for in the facility and/or which requires inpatient care in a licensed health facility, nor from taking all necessary actions to reduce stress to the resident.
(7) In cases where the Department 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 Department shall order the licensee to immediately relocate the resident.
