Connecticut General Statutes Title 19A. Public Health and Well-Being § 19a-534a. Emergency actions against nursing home and residential care home licensees

If the commissioner finds that the health, safety or welfare of any patient or patients in any nursing home facility or residential care home imperatively requires emergency action and incorporates a finding to that effect in the order, the commissioner may issue a summary order to the holder of a license issued pursuant to section 19a-493 pending completion of any proceedings conducted pursuant to section 19a-494. Such proceedings shall be promptly instituted and determined. The orders that the commissioner may issue shall include, but not be limited to: (1) Revoking or suspending the license; (2) prohibiting the nursing home facility or residential care home from admitting new patients or discharging current patients; (3) limiting the license of a nursing home facility or residential care home in any respect, including reducing the licensed patient capacity; and (4) compelling compliance with the applicable statutes or regulations administered or adopted by the department.
