Cal. Code Regs. Tit. 22, § 73511 - Administrator
(a) Each
intermediate care facility shall employ or otherwise provide a licensed
administrator to carry out the policies of the licensee. Such administrator
shall not be responsible for the administration and management of more than one
intermediate care facility unless other intermediate care facilities for which
he is responsible are operated by the same governing body, are in the same
vicinity and within reasonable travel time. If an administrator is responsible
for more than one facility, he shall not be responsible for more than three
facilities or more than 200 beds total and shall designate an individual in
each facility to be responsible for carrying out the policies of the
licensee.
(b) The administrator
shall have sufficient freedom from other responsibilities and shall be on the
premises of the intermediate care facility a sufficient number of hours to
permit adequate attention to the management and administration of the facility.
The Department may require that the administrator spend additional hours in the
facility whenever the Department determines through a written evaluation that
such additional hours are needed to provide adequate administrative
management.
(c) A copy of the
current intermediate care facility regulations contained in this chapter shall
be maintained by the administrator and shall be available to all
personnel.
(d) The administrator
shall be responsible for informing appropriate staff of applicable additions,
deletions and changes to intermediate care facility regulations.
(e) The administrator shall be responsible
for informing the Department, via telephone, immediately upon being notified of
the intent of the discontinuance or disruption of services or upon the threat
of a walkout of a substantial number of employees, or earthquake, fire, power
outage, or other calamity that causes damage to the facility or threatens the
safety or welfare of patients or clients.
