Do residents have a right to a hearing when transferring from a residential habilitation center (RHC) to another RHC?

Notwithstanding hearing rights set forth in WAC 388-825-120 (1)(d), there is no right to an adjudicative proceeding for a resident when the department concludes that the facility where the resident resides cannot provide services due to:
(1) Decertification of the RHC;
(2) Revocation of the RHC's certification; or
(3) An emergency suspension of the RHC's certification;
(4) Partial closure of the RHC; or
(5) Closure of the RHC.
