How many days must a CILA home notify the Department before operation termination?

The requirement for a CILA home to notify the Department before terminating operation is set at 30 days. This notice period is crucial as it allows the Department sufficient time to make arrangements for the residents affected by the operation's closure. It assures that there is minimal disruption to the services provided to individuals living in the CILA setting.

This timeframe also allows the Department to ensure appropriate follow-up actions, such as arranging alternative placements or services for residents who may need continued support. By establishing a clear protocol for notification, the rule promotes stability for residents and compliance with regulatory standards, ensuring that the transition is handled with care and attention to the needs of all involved.
