FL H0817

Requires assisted living facilities to provide residents at least 45 days' written notice before relocation or termination of residency, except in medical emergencies or when the resident initiates the action.

Establishes specific conditions under which facilities may relocate or terminate a resident's residency: if resident's needs cannot be met, health status changes documented by physician, safety risks exist, payment defaults after 30 days' notice, facility closes, or documented pattern of harmful behavior exists.

Requires facility administrators or designated employees to sign relocation/termination notices, with physician signature required when medical reasons are cited.

Mandates facilities report all relocation or termination notices to the Office of State Long-Term Care Ombudsman within 2 business days and allows residents to request ombudsman council review of the notice.

Establishes written grievance procedures for residents and prohibits admission conditions that waive the right to 45 days' notice, making any such waivers void and unenforceable.
