Okla. Stat. tit. 63, § 63-1-1930: Voluntary closing of facility - Notice - Alternative

placement of residents - Relocation assistance.

Any owner of a facility licensed under this act shall give

ninety (90) days' notice prior to voluntarily closing a facility or

closing any part of a facility, or prior to closing any part of a

facility 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, to any resident who must be transferred

or discharged, to the resident's representative, 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 facility

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 facility shall comply with all

applicable laws and regulations until the date of closing, including

those related to transfer or discharge of residents. The Department

may place a relocation team in the facility if needed. Also, the

Department may promulgate rules and regulations that establish

criteria for the acceleration of the notice requirement if

extraordinary circumstances warrant it.
