With a quick accrual of Type A and B citations some of these targeted RCFE\u2019s face revocation of their license.  <\/p>\n<h2>Accusation<\/h2>\n<p>If you have received an Accusation from the Department notifying you of a pending license revocation action you have a short deadline to <a href=\"https:\/\/residentialcareattorney.com\/notice-of-defense\/\">file a Notice of Defense<\/a> to preserve your right to a formal Administrative Hearing.  If you or your attorney do not file the Notice of Defense before the deadline your license may be revoked without a hearing.

After graduating with an LLM in Law and Government with Certification in Administrative Law &#038; Regulatory Practice and Health Law &#038; Policy he represented RCFE\u2019s with capacities of 6 to 30 beds in license revocation proceedings.  <\/p>\n<h2>Fines<\/h2>\n<p>RCFE\u2019s in Southern California often face substantial fines in license revocation actions. Accordingly, in addition to saving the RCFE license another goal in settlement is often the reduction or elimination of fines. For many clients this reduction or elimination of fines for Type A and B citations is possible, though of course never guaranteed. <\/p>\n<p><strong>If you have been served with an Accusation from the Department of Social Services call RCFE license defense attorney Michael Benavides at (916) 596-1018.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Operating a residential care facility for the elderly in Southern California requires substantial compliance with Title 22 and the Health and Safety Code.
