(d) When a new licensee assumes control of the nursing home.

(2) The department may appoint an alternate temporary manager:

(a) When the temporary manager is no longer willing to serve as a temporary manager;

(b) If a temporary manager is not making acceptable progress in correcting the nursing home deficiencies or in closing the nursing home; or

(c) If the department determines the temporary manager is not operating the nursing home in a financially responsible manner.

(3) The receivership will terminate in accordance with RCW 18.51.450 and 18.51.460.

(4) The department may recommend to the court an alternate receiver be appointed:

(a) When the receiver is no longer willing to serve as a receiver; or
