the residents exists, and license suspension or revocation procedures
are pending against the facility;
(4) an emergency exists that presents an immediate
threat to the health and safety of the residents; or
(5) the facility is closing, whether voluntarily or
through an emergency closure order, and arrangements for relocation
of the residents to other licensed institutions have not been made
before closure.
