For each time the license is issued or reissued by the Department, the provider will print the most recent version of the license and display it in a conspicuous place, publicly accessible within each facility;

(e) When there is a change in a provider's status regarding accreditation, the provider shall notify the Department in writing within five (5) business days of such change.

(f) Any change in the name of a facility that remains under the same ownership and management shall be submitted in writing to the regional office within 30 days prior to the effective date of the change. Upon receipt of the notification, the regional office will issue a letter confirming receipt of the notification along with a replacement license listing the correct facility name.
