Assisted living service termination requirements modified.

HF 2064 modifies rules for assisted living facilities terminating contracts with residents. It requires facilities to hold meetings with residents and their chosen support people (like family or case managers) at least seven days before termination for most reasons, explaining the termination reason and offering alternatives like switching providers. Facilities must provide written termination notices 30 days in advance for contract violations (subdivision 4) or 15 days for other cases (subdivision 5), and send copies to the Long-Term Care Ombudsman and case managers for waiver program residents. The bill also clarifies that temporary interruptions in public benefits (up to 60 days) do not count as nonpayment. These changes aim to ensure residents understand termination reasons and have time to address issues before leaving a facility.
