When must the Department of Health and Human Service, Licensure Unit be notified about an impending business closure?

The requirement for notifying the Department of Health and Human Services, Licensure Unit about an impending business closure is set at 30 days. This timeline ensures that the department has adequate time to process the information and address any potential implications for the services being offered by the business in question. Premature notification may not allow enough time for necessary actions, such as ensuring that clients or families affected by the closure receive proper support or alternative options. By establishing this 30-day notification period, the regulations aim to maintain continuity of care and service, which is crucial in sensitive contexts like funeral services.
