(c) Authorized inspectors shall at all times without notice have access to all such facilities. (d) The living quarters of the manager of a facility, for purposes of this chapter, may be subject to inspection only if the inspector has reason to believe the permissible capacity of the facility has been exceeded and only for the purpose of determining if such a violation exists. The inspector shall permit the manager to accompany the inspector on such an inspection. (e) Within the limits of resources available, the licensing agency may provide technical assistance, education, and information to facilities to assist them to come into or remain in compliance with the provisions of this chapter or the rules adopted pursuant to this chapter.
