Navigating Challenging Issues Related to Ending RCFE Residencies
Sometimes circumstances arise where an assisted living resident must be asked to leave the community. Navigating these awkward and difficult situations requires knowledge of the applicable statutes and regulations as well as some creative thinking. In this session, we will discuss the applicable legal requirements and provide practical tips on how to comply with the regulations while dealing with challenging resident issues that could lead to an eviction. We'll focus specifically on situations in which the resident's change in condition is inconsistent with continued residency in the community and where resident conduct is problematic.
