R.I. Gen. Laws § 23-17.4-8.1

Whenever the director determines that an assisted living residence for adults licensed under this chapter is not being operated in conformance with all of the requirements established under this chapter, the director may, in lieu of suspension or revocation of the license of the facility, order the licensee to admit no additional individual to the facility, to transfer all or some of the residents occupying the facility to other suitable accommodations, or to take any other corrective action necessary to secure compliance with the requirements established under this chapter. Notice of the order and the subsequent hearing as may be scheduled shall comply with the requirements of procedural due process stipulated in § 23-17.4-8. The director may act pursuant to this section only in those instances in which the director determines that the continued operation of the facility will not result in undue hardship to its occupants.
