Judicial review of any action of the director may be sought in accordance with the terms of the Iowa administrative procedure Act, chapter 17A. Notwithstanding the terms of chapter 17A, petitions for judicial review may be filed in the district court of the county where the facility or proposed facility is located, and pending final disposition of the matter the status quo of the applicant or licensee shall be preserved except when the director, with the advice and consent of the certified volunteer long-term care ombudsman, determines that the health, safety or welfare of the residents of the facility is in immediate danger, in which case the director may order the immediate removal of such residents. The fact that a certified volunteer long-term care ombudsman has not been appointed for a particular facility shall not bar the director from exercising the emergency powers granted by this section with respect to that facility.
