How many working days must the department be notified of the initiation of hospice at Richards facility?

The correct answer is: 5

The correct answer is that the department must be notified of the initiation of hospice services at Richards facility within five working days. This requirement is in place to ensure that oversight and compliance with regulations are maintained for facilities providing care to elderly residents. Timely notification allows the department to adequately monitor the situation and ensure that residents receive appropriate care during this critical period. Additionally, this timeframe also helps coordinate resources and support for both the facility and the residents receiving hospice care, ultimately contributing to better outcomes in the end-of-life experience.
