10-144-118 Me. Code R. § 3.O
If an annual license is revoked or suspended, if a conditional license is voided, or if the Department refuses to issue or renew a license, the facility shall, in consultation with the Department, make appropriate arrangement for the orderly transfer of all clients residing in the facility.
Whenever a facility voluntarily discontinues operation, it shall inform the clients residing in the facility, the next of kin, legal representative or agency acting on the client's behalf, and the Department of the fact and the proposed time of such discontinuance, giving at least thirty (30) days notice so that suitable arrangements may be made for the orderly transfer of the clients. In the case of any individual who has no person acting on his/her behalf, the facility, aided by the Department, shall be responsible for assisting the client to make other suitable living arrangements. Immediately upon discontinuance of operation of a licensed facility, the owner shall surrender the license to the Department.
