Introduced Text

Requires long-term care facilities to give residents ninety days' notice before permanent closure.

This bill amends South Carolina law to mandate that long-term care facilities provide residents with at least ninety days' written notice before permanently closing. This notice period aims to allow residents sufficient time to arrange alternative care. The bill also maintains the existing requirement for thirty days' notice for transfers or discharges, except when immediate action is necessary to protect other residents' health, safety, or welfare.
