(a) DCN&L may require that the facility submit a written plan of correction specifying how each deficiency that has been cited will be corrected along with the time frames for completion of each corrective action. A single plan of correction may address all events associated with a given deficiency.

(b) The plan of correction shall be submitted within 10 business days of the facility's receipt of the notice of violations, unless DCN&L specifically authorizes an extension for cause. Where deficiencies are the subject of informal dispute resolution pursuant to N.J.A.C. 10:161B-2.10, the extension shall pertain only to the plans of correction for the deficiencies under review.

(c) DCN&L may require that the facility's representatives and/or board of directors appear at an office conference to review findings of serious or repeated licensure deficiencies and to review the causes for such violations and the facility's plan of correction.

(d) The plan of correction shall be reviewed by DCN&L and will be approved where the plan demonstrates that compliance will be achieved in a manner and time that ensures the health and safety of patients or residents. If the plan is not approved, DCN&L may request that an amended plan of correction be submitted within 10 business days. In relation to violations of resident or patient rights, DCN&L may direct specific corrective measures that must be implemented by facilities.
