1775
. (a) To the extent that this chapter, as interpreted by the
department, conflicts with the statutes, regulations, or
interpretations governing the sale or hire of real property, this
chapter shall prevail.
(b) Notwithstanding any law or regulation to the contrary, a
provider for a continuing care retirement community may restrict or
abridge the right of any resident, whether or not the resident owns
an equity interest, to sell, lease, encumber, or otherwise convey any
interest in the resident's unit, and may require that the resident
only sell, lease, or otherwise convey the interest to persons
approved by the provider. Provider approval may be based on factors
which include, but are not limited to, age, health status, insurance
risk, financial status, or burden on the provider's personnel,
resources, or physical facility. The provider shall record any
restrictions on a real property interest.
(c) To the extent that this chapter conflicts with Sections 51.2
and 51.3 of the Civil Code, this chapter shall have precedence. A
continuing care provider, at its discretion, may limit entrance based
on age.
(d) This chapter imposes minimum requirements upon any entity
promising to provide, proposing to promise to provide, or providing
continuing care.
(e) This chapter shall be liberally construed for the protection
of persons attempting to obtain or receiving continuing care.
(f) A resident's entry into a continuing care contract described
in this chapter shall be presumptive evidence of the resident's
intent not to return to his or her prior residence to live for
purposes of qualifying for Medi-Cal coverage under Sections 14000 et
seq. of the Welfare and Institutions Code and Section 50425 of Title
22 of the California Code of Regulations.
