What is the notice period for a resident before an intrafacility transfer?

The notice period for a resident before an intrafacility transfer is set at 2 days. This requirement ensures that residents have sufficient time to prepare for the transfer, allowing them to understand the reasons for the move and adjust to the changes in their living environment. It also provides a level of transparency and facilitates communication between facility staff, residents, and their families, contributing to better overall care and consideration of the residents' needs during potentially disruptive transitions. By having this standard practice, it enhances the quality of care and helps maintain trust in the facility's operations.
