Section 597
Disposition versions
Not in force
597. If the authorization granted for the operation of a private seniors’ residence is temporary, it is valid for up to one year and may not be renewed.
Despite the first paragraph, Santé Québec may extend a temporary authorization’s period of validity for up to one year due to exceptional circumstances, in particular if failure to meet a health and social criterion is attributable to a cause beyond the authorization holder’s control. Santé Québec may attach conditions to the extension. If it does so, such conditions constitute, for the purposes of this Act, operating conditions for the residence.
Santé Québec must, before the period of validity of such an authorization expires, decide whether to grant a regular authorization. For that purpose, it may consider, among other things, the reasons set out in Division I of Chapter III for revoking an authorization to operate a private seniors’ residence.
