What must the written notice provided by the Department include?

The written notice provided by the Department is required to include both the provisional license length and the statutes or rules that are alleged to have been violated. This comprehensive communication serves several important purposes. First, it ensures transparency by clearly stating how long the provisional license will be valid, giving the license holder a timeframe within which they must address the issues cited. Second, detailing the specific statutes or rules alleged to be violated helps the licensed facility understand exactly what their deficiencies are, allowing them to take corrective actions or prepare for potential hearings. By including both critical elements, the notice enables effective communication and facilitates compliance, thereby supporting the overall regulatory framework of nursing home administration.
