residents.
Any provider or licensee operating under the Group Homes for
Persons with Developmental or Physical Disabilities Act shall give
ninety (90) days' notice prior to voluntarily closing a group home
or closing any part of a group home, or prior to closing any part of
a group home if closing such part will require the transfer or
discharge of more than ten percent (10%) of the residents. Such
notice shall be given to the Department of Human Services, to any
resident who must be transferred or discharged, to the resident's
guardian or advocate, and to a member of the resident's family,
where practicable. Notice shall state the proposed date of closing
and the reason for closing. The provider or licensee shall offer to
assist the resident in securing an alternative placement and shall
advise the resident on available alternatives. Where the resident
is unable to choose an alternative placement and is not under
guardianship, the Department shall be notified of the need for
relocation assistance. The provider or licensee shall comply with
all applicable laws and rules until the date of closing, including
those related to transfer or discharge of residents. The Department
may place a relocation team in the group home if needed. Also, the
Department may promulgate rules that establish criteria for the
acceleration of the notice requirement if extraordinary
circumstances warrant it.
