Relocation of a resident requires 48 hours of notice unless what condition is met?

• A. Emergency medical condition
• B. Written agreement to allow sooner relocation
• C. State approval
• D. Owner consent

Answer: (B)

Relocation decisions are guided by protecting a resident’s rights and giving them time to plan. The usual rule is to provide 48 hours of notice before moving someone, ensuring they’re informed and able to participate in the decision. The exception is when the resident (or someone authorized to act for them) signs a written agreement that allows the move to happen sooner. That written agreement serves as documented consent to shorten the notice period, making the move legitimate and approved by the resident. Other options aren’t the stated way to waive the notice: a medical emergency or external approvals would involve different procedures, but the rule here specifies a written consent from the resident or their representative as the appropriate exception.
