Connecticut General Statutes Title 17A. Social and Human Services and Resources § 17a-234. Duties of receiver

A receiver appointed pursuant to the provisions of sections 17a-231 to 17a-237, inclusive, in operating such facility, shall have the same powers as a receiver of a corporation under section 52-507 and shall exercise such powers to remedy the conditions which constituted grounds for the imposition of receivership, assure adequate care for the residents and preserve the assets and property of the owner. If a facility is placed in receivership it shall be the duty of the receiver to notify residents and the residents' legal representatives, except where medically contraindicated. The receiver may correct or eliminate any deficiency in the structure or furnishings of the facility which endangers the safety or health of the residents while they remain in the facility, provided the total cost of correction does not exceed three thousand dollars. The court may order expenditures for this purpose in excess of three thousand dollars upon the application of the receiver. If any resident is transferred or discharged the receiver shall provide for: (1) Transportation of the resident and the resident's belongings and records to the place where the resident is being transferred or discharged; (2) aid in locating an alternative placement and discharge planning; (3) preparation for transfer to mitigate transfer trauma, including, but not limited to, participation by the resident or the resident's legal representative in the selection of the resident's alternative placement, explanation of alternative placements and orientation concerning the placement chosen; and (4) custodial care of all property or assets of residents which are in the possession of the owner of the facility. The receiver shall preserve all property, assets and records of residents which the receiver has custody of and shall provide for the prompt transfer of the property, assets and records to the alternative placement of any transferred resident. In no event may the receiver transfer all residents and close a facility without a court order and without preparing a discharge plan for each resident.
