Article 13.
Temporary Management of Long-Term Care Facilities.
§ 131E-230. Legislative findings.
The General Assembly finds that:
(1)A substantial number of citizens of this State now reside, or in the future may reside, in long-term care facilities within this State;
(2)Improper operation of long-term care facilities may tend to create a substantial risk of serious physical injury to residents;
(3)The closure of a long-term care facility can have adverse effects on the residents thereof, especially if the closure and transfer of residents is done hastily;
(4)The general health and welfare of the people of this State, particularly those persons residing in long-term care facilities within this State, would be enhanced by development of a procedure for the court appointment of a temporary manager to assure the proper operation of a long-term care facility in certain instances until a manager chosen by the facility is prepared to properly operate the facility, or until the residents can be safely transferred to a proper alternative setting; and
(5)The use of a temporary manager is intended as a temporary measure and the ongoing or long-term operation of a nursing facility by a temporary manager is neither beneficial nor appropriate. (1993, c. 390, s. 1.)
