. The provider shall set forth specific procedures for the
resident to follow regarding relocation to the unit originally
vacated, the selection of a new unit, and timeframes for making
choices. Procedures for returning the relocated resident when
residential units will be ready for occupancy shall include all of
the following:
(a) The provider shall provide the resident at least 60 days
notice of the return to his or her unit or a substitute permanent
unit, and subsequent notices 30 days and seven days prior to the
return date.
(b) The resident shall have the right to return to his or her
previously occupied unit or a unit comparable in services, size,
features, and amenities to the unit originally vacated, without
payment of any further entrance or accommodation fee. The provider is
not required to guarantee a specific unit. Assignment of units shall
be based upon the length of occupancy of returning residents.
(c) If the residential temporary relocation of a resident of a
continuing care retirement community will exceed 18 months, the
resident shall have all options allowed by Section 1793.82, unless
there is a written agreement between the affected resident and the
provider as described in subdivision (d).
(d) If a provider determines that the period of residential
temporary relocation, as defined in paragraph (8) of subdivision (r)
of Section 1771, will exceed 18 months, the provider may extend the
period of residential temporary relocation for up to six months for
an affected resident if that resident has agreed to the extension in
writing. The written agreement shall state that by signing, the
resident waives all rights to relocation options offered in Section
1793.82 for the period of the extension.
