So, you don’t agree with the CCLD regarding a deficiency or the direction to relocate a resident due to their increased care needs? Fortunately, there is a process for appealing this decision through an administrative review to possibly overturn the ruling. Check out the following regulation for more information:
87639 ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW – HEALTH CONDITIONS

(1) The reason(s) the licensee disagrees with the notice or order.

(3) A current appraisal or reappraisal of the resident as specified in Sections 87457(c)(1) and 87463, Reappraisals.
