How do I report a change of operator to the Department of Health & Senior Services?
If the licensed operator of a facility is replaced by another operator, the new operator shall apply for a new license before the effective date of the change in accordance with 19 CSR 30-82.010 (1) (H). The application shall be submitted to the Licensure Unit of the Section for Long-Term Care Regulation. Accountants in the Licensure Unit will then review the application to determine if sufficient information was included in the application to support the change. If sufficient information has been provided, a temporary permit will be issued to the new operator. Full review of the application will then be completed during the period of time the temporary operating permit is in effect.
