Modifications to Emergency Relocation Notice Template

Posted on November 3, 2022 by Bobbie Guidry

Thanks to feedback from several of you, a revised Emergency Relocation Notice template is now available. We have added new language required in all notices that go to residents that passed in the 2021-22 legislative session:

"You may contact the Ombudsman for Long-Term Care for questions about your rights as an assisted living facility resident and to request advocacy services. As an assisted living facility resident, you may contact the Ombudsman for Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities to request advocacy regarding your rights, concerns, or questions on issues relating to services for mental health, developmental disability, or substance use disorder."

Several additional edits and clarifications were also made. Thanks to those of you who shared your observations.
