Section 17-311-205 - Mailing of written application to persons on dated list of applications

(a) Within two (2) business days after such initial contact, the facility shall mail its written application form to such person or his representative. At the beginning of the front page of such written application the following wording shall appear in capital letters in bold face type and/or underlined:

YOU HAVE CONTACTED THIS NURSING HOME AND INDICATED A DESIRE TO BE ADMITTED AS A PATIENT TO THIS FACILITY. BECAUSE OF THIS, YOU HAVE ALREADY BEEN ISSUED A RECEIPT INDICATING THE DATE AND TIME OF YOUR INITIAL REQUEST AND YOUR NAME HAS BEEN PLACED ON OUR DATED LIST OF APPLICATIONS OR INQUIRY LIST.

PLEASE FIND ENCLOSED THIS FACILITY'S WRITTEN APPLICATION FORM. AS SOON AS YOU SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETE AND RETURN THE FORM TO THE FACILITY, YOUR NAME WILL BE PLACED ON OUR WAITING LIST FOR ADMISSION TO THE FACILITY. YOUR NAME WILL ONLY BE PLACED ON OUR WAITING LIST AFTER YOU SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETE AND RETURN THIS WRITTEN APPLICATION FORM TO US.

(b) In determining whether a returned written application is "substantially complete," a nursing home may not reject as incomplete a written application when said facility has accepted as "substantially complete" other written applications which are equal to or lesser than the rejected written application in their completeness.
