Long-term health care facilities: admission contracts.

Existing law requires specified information to be included on the admission contract or abbreviated contract of admission when a patient is admitted to a long-term health care facility. This bill would add the requirement that the abbreviated contracts of admission and contracts of admission for a skilled nursing facility have an attachment that discloses the name of the owner and licensee and the name and contact information of a single entity that is responsible for all aspects of patient care and operation at the facility. This bill would require a skilled nursing facility to provide the department with prescribed notice within 30 days of approval of a change of ownership.
