What is a Title 22 Section 87507(f) violation?

Title 22, Section 87507(f) requires your assisted living facility to comply with all terms and conditions set forth in the resident admission agreement. This includes adhering to any modifications or attachments added after move-in. The regulation ensures that communities deliver the specific care and services residents and families were promised. LPAs review these contracts when investigating complaints.

How common is this violation in California assisted living?

These are generally classified as Type B citations, which indicate a potential risk to resident rights if not corrected. Violations were spread across 21 different counties. Los Angeles and Sacramento facilities saw the highest number of these citations.

What happens if an RCFE is cited for violating an admission agreement?

The Community Care Licensing Division issues a Type B citation requiring a formal Plan of Correction. You must adjust your practices to align with the signed contract and avoid further compliance issues. These citations remain on your public record for families and ombudsmen to review. Failure to correct the issue can lead to escalating enforcement actions from the state.

How do I fix or prevent an admission agreement citation?

Audit your current resident contracts to ensure the services delivered match what is documented. Train your staff to understand the specific care levels and amenities promised to each resident. Establish a clear process for updating agreements when a resident's care needs change. Review all admission paperwork with legal counsel to ensure the language is clear and compliant.

Does failing to follow admission agreement terms affect my RCFE license?

Yes, repeated failures to honor contracts can trigger increased scrutiny during your annual licensing visit. The California Department of Social Services views unmet contractual obligations as a resident rights issue. Consistent violations can place your facility on a compliance plan. Maintaining strict alignment between your contracts and actual care protects your license.
