Transfer or Discharge by Facility Sample Clauses

Transfer or Discharge by Facility. In accordance with applicable law, the facility may transfer or discharge the resident from the facility when the transfer of discharge is necessary for the resident's welfare; when the resident's health has improved so that the resident no longer needs the services provided by the facility; when the health or safety of other individuals in the facility is endangered; if the resident is paying for his or her care, the resident’s account is more than fifteen days in arrears; if the resident’s assets are exhausted and the resident has failed to file an application for Medicaid assistance or to respond to Medicaid’s requests for information in a timely manner; the resident is no longer eligible for nursing home care as determined by the PASSR program or level-of-care review; or if the facility ceases to operate. The resident or responsible party will be given thirty days' notice of any such transfer or discharge except in certain circumstances as specified by law, in an emergency, or when the resident has resided in the facility for less than thirty days; in such cases, the facility will provide as much notice as is practicable. At the end of any applicable notice period, if the resident or responsible party has failed to make other appropriate arrangements for the resident's care, the resident and responsible party agree that the facility may discharge and deliver the resident to the care of the responsible party.
