what happens to the employees jobs at assisted living facility if the facility licens

what happens to the employees jobs at assisted living facility if the facility license is expired and the state finds out? i currently work at a facility that brought out another facility, has been open for a year, and just happen to do research on it and the license expired back in april. dont know what to do

If the State shuts it down, you are out of work, period.

But how are you so certain that there is no license currently in effect? Applications and appointments, permits etc take many months to process.....a facility that bombs a survey will still be open for several months while the paperwork is put through.

Just saying you might not be correct in your assumption that there is "no license".

How do you know there is no license? If the facility has no license and it is found out it will most likely have the ability to pay some fines and renew their license. Even the worst of places are often kept open as long as they pay fines. They may lose their reimbursement for medicaid/medicare patients at the worst.

To OP - check around the walls of your place for the facility's & admin staff's licenses; inspections there, too. If they're anything like LTC places, you might find them in a glass display case in the main lobby near the admin offices.

I know when I've tried to reference official gov't reports, I've found SIGNIFICANT delays for current reports.

Again when licensed healthcare facilities change ownership, the governing bodies are usually right on top of the switch (at least it is that way in LTC). I would more likely believe that it's just a delayed positing. And after all, you're only talking about a month!
