How long does a licensee have to report a change in their CEO or mailing address?

In California, licensed facilities, including those operated under the Administration of Residential Facilities for the Elderly (ARF), are required to maintain accurate and up-to-date information with regulatory agencies. When there is a change in the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of a facility or a change in the facility's mailing address, the licensee must report these changes within a specific timeframe to ensure compliance and proper communication regarding regulatory matters.

The correct timeframe for reporting such changes is 10 working days. This period allows the regulatory body to consistently have accurate information about who is managing the facility and how to effectively communicate with the licensee. Timely reporting is crucial as it ensures that the facility remains in good standing and can be effectively monitored for compliance with regulations.

This requirement is in place to protect the welfare of the residents and maintain the integrity of the facilities, ensuring that they are operated by individuals who are accountable and easily reachable in line with regulatory oversight.
