Sec. 17a-234. (Formerly Sec. 19a-467d). Duties of receiver. A receiver appointed pursuant to the provisions of sections 17a-231 to 17a-237, inclusive, in operating
such facility, shall have the same powers as a receiver of a corporation under section
52-507 and shall exercise such powers to remedy the conditions which constituted
grounds for the imposition of receivership, assure adequate care for the residents and
preserve the assets and property of the owner. If a facility is placed in receivership it
shall be the duty of the receiver to notify residents and family, except where medically
contraindicated. The receiver may correct or eliminate any deficiency in the structure
or furnishings of the facility which endangers the safety or health of the residents while
they remain in the facility, provided the total cost of correction does not exceed three
thousand dollars. The court may order expenditures for this purpose in excess of three
thousand dollars upon the application of the receiver. If any resident is transferred or
discharged the receiver shall provide for: (1) Transportation of the resident and the
resident's belongings and records to the place where the resident is being transferred
or discharged; (2) aid in locating an alternative placement and discharge planning; (3)
preparation for transfer to mitigate transfer trauma, including, but not limited to, participation by the resident or the resident's guardian in the selection of the resident's alternative placement, explanation of alternative placements and orientation concerning the
placement chosen; and (4) custodial care of all property or assets of residents which are
in the possession of the owner of the facility. The receiver shall preserve all property,
assets and records of residents which the receiver has custody of and shall provide for
the prompt transfer of the property, assets and records to the alternative placement of
any transferred resident. In no event may the receiver transfer all residents and close a
facility without a court order and without preparing a discharge plan for each resident.
