What is one of the exceptions for the 30-day written notice during a transfer or discharge?

One of the exceptions for the 30-day written notice during a transfer or discharge is when the resident is threatening the safety of others. In such situations, it is crucial for the facility to maintain a safe environment for all residents and staff. If a resident's behavior poses a risk to the safety and well-being of others, immediate action may be necessary, which can include transferring or discharging the resident without the standard notice period. This is in line with the regulatory requirements that prioritize the health and safety of all individuals within the care facility.

The other scenarios involve factors that may not pose an immediate threat to safety. For instance, meeting recovery goals or requesting an immediate transfer for personal reasons does not automatically justify bypassing the notice requirement, as these situations can typically be planned for. Additionally, facility renovations are typically scheduled in advance, allowing time to provide appropriate notice to residents. In contrast, threats to safety necessitate swift and decisive action to protect everyone involved.
