How many days’ notice must be given to a resident prior to a transfer or discharge?

In New Jersey, the law requires that a resident must be given at least 30 days' notice prior to a transfer or discharge from an assisted living facility. This notice is essential as it provides residents the opportunity to prepare for the transition, whether it involves arranging for new housing or discussing the reasons for the transfer or discharge. It also allows for essential planning and support to ensure that the resident's rights are respected and that they can make informed decisions about their care and future accommodations. Ensuring a 30-day notice also aligns with best practices in providing care, which prioritizes the dignity and autonomy of residents.
