Sec. 242.091. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE

Latest version.

(a) The legislature finds that the closing of a nursing or convalescent home for violations of laws and rules may:
(1) in certain circumstances, have an adverse effect on both the home's residents and their families; and
(2) in some cases, result in a lack of readily available funds to meet the basic needs of the residents for food, shelter, medication, and personal services.
(b) The purpose of this subchapter is to provide for:
(1) the appointment of a trustee to assume the operations of the home in a manner that emphasizes resident care and reduces resident trauma; and
(2) a fund to assist a court-appointed trustee in meeting the basic needs of the residents.
