Colorado Nursing Home Administrators (NHA) Practice Exam

A facility needs to submit a change of ownership 30 days before the change occurs. This allows the relevant authorities to review and process the necessary documentation and ensure a smooth transition of ownership without disrupting the services provided to the residents. It is important for facilities to adhere to this timeline to comply with regulatory requirements and facilitate an efficient change in ownership process.

In this question, the correct answer is A because submitting a change of ownership 30 days before the change aligns with the standard regulatory timeline for notification and approval. This timeline ensures that the change of ownership process can be properly managed and overseen by the appropriate regulatory bodies, safeguarding the continuity of care for the residents.

Options B, C, and D are incorrect as they suggest longer notification periods which may not be in line with the regulatory requirements for submitting a change of ownership in a nursing home facility.
