Written notice of the ability to cure may be provided in person or by first class mail.

(3) extraordinary circumstances exist, causing the arranged home care provider to be unable to provide the client with the services agreed to in the service plan that are necessary to meet the client's needs.

(d) A violation of paragraph (b) that would make it necessary for the client to move out of the facility in which the arranged home care provider is providing the services, constitutes a constructive eviction. A client alleging that an arranged home care provider is terminating services in violation of paragraph (b) may seek a temporary injunction against the termination under Minnesota Statutes, section 504B.381. The court may grant a temporary

Journal of the House - 93rd Day - Wednesday, May 13, 2020 - Top of Page 8563

injunction upon a showing by the client that: (1) there is a genuine issue of material fact as to whether the arranged home care provider is terminating services in violation of paragraph (b); and (2) the termination would cause irreparable harm to the client. Upon a grant of a temporary injunction, the termination shall be automatically stayed while the underlying dispute is adjudicated in a court of competent jurisdiction. If a client prevails in an action brought under this paragraph, the client is entitled to reasonable attorney fees and court costs. During the period of time between the issuance of a temporary injunction and final adjudication of the underlying dispute, the client is responsible for contracting for those additional services the client needs from the arranged home care provider or another home care provider, and for ensuring that the costs for those additional services are covered.

(3) consult and cooperate with the client; the client representative; the case manager of a client who receives home and community-based waiver services under Minnesota Statutes, section 256B.49, and Minnesota Statutes, chapter 256S; relevant health professionals; and any other person of the client's choosing, to make arrangements to move the client; and

(4) prepare a written plan to prepare for the move.

Subd. 6. Right to return. If a client is absent from a facility for any reason, the facility shall not refuse to allow a client to return if a lease termination has not been effectuated.

Subd. 7. Coordinated moves. (a) A facility or arranged home care provider, as applicable, must arrange a coordinated move for a client according to this subdivision if:

(1) a facility terminates a lease or closes the facility;

(2) an arranged home care provider terminates or does not renew a service plan; or

(3) an arranged home care provider reduces or eliminates services to the extent that the client needs to move.

(b) If an event listed in paragraph (a) occurs, the facility or arranged home care provider, as applicable, must:

(1) ensure a coordinated move to a safe location that is appropriate for the client and that is identified by the facility;

(2) ensure a coordinated move to an appropriate service provider identified by the facility, provided services are still needed and desired by the client; and

(3) consult and cooperate with the client; the client representative; the case manager for a client who receives home and community-based waiver services under Minnesota Statutes, section 256B.49, and Minnesota Statutes, chapter 256S; relevant health professionals; and any other person of the client's choosing, to make arrangements to move the client.

Journal of the House - 93rd Day - Wednesday, May 13, 2020 - Top of Page 8564

(c) A facility may satisfy the requirements in paragraph (b), clauses (1) and (2), by moving the client to a different location within the same facility, if appropriate for the client.

(d) A client may decline to move to the location the facility identifies or to accept services from a service provider the facility identifies, and may choose instead to move to a location of the client's choosing or receive services from a service provider of the client's choosing.

(e) Sixty days before the facility or arranged home care provider reduces or eliminates one or more services for a particular client, the facility must provide written notice of the reduction or elimination. If the facility, arranged home care provider, client, or client representative determines that the reduction or elimination of services will force the client to move to a new location, the facility must ensure a coordinated move in accordance with this subdivision, and must provide notice to the Office of Ombudsman for Long-Term Care.

(f) The facility or arranged home care provider, as applicable, must prepare a relocation plan to prepare for the move to the new location or service provider.

(g) With the client's knowledge and consent, if the client is relocated to another facility or to a nursing home, or if care is transferred to another service provider, the facility must timely convey to the new facility, nursing home, or service provider:

(7) the most recent client assessment, if relevant to the services being provided; and
