Cal. HSC § 1325 — California Code / Code hsc / Division 2 / Chapter 2 / Article 8 / Section 1325
Section 1325
Status: in_force

The Legislature finds and declares that the transfer trauma which accompanies the abrupt and involuntary transfer of patients from one nursing home to another should be avoided when reasonable alternatives exist.

It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this article to provide an alternative by establishing a system whereby the State Department of Health Services may apply for a court order appointing a receiver to temporarily operate a long-term health care facility. The receivership is not intended to punish a licensee or to replace attempts to secure cooperative action to protect the patients’ health and security. The receivership is intended to protect the patients in the absence of other reasonably available alternatives.

The receiver may be appointed when a long-term health care facility is found to be in such condition that continued operation by the licensee, or his or her representative, presents a substantial probability or imminent danger of serious physical harm or death to the patients.

The receiver shall assume the operation of such a facility in order to either bring it into compliance with law and return it to the original licensee in accordance with standards set forth in this article, or facilitate a transfer of ownership to a new licensee. The receiver shall assure the orderly transfer of patients should the facility ultimately close.
