Appellant received a notice which stated, incorrectly under the law, that she had 14 days to appeal and that the nursing facility could potentially discharge her within five days after an adverse decision from the Board of Hearings. The nursing facility’s intention to give this information is likely an attempt to comply with 130 CMR 456.701(C)(5); however the actual time frames given on that notice are legally incorrect; also nursing facility failed to give reasonable and appropriate notice of non-payment prior to issuing the discharge notice.
