Introduced by: Robert H. Brink | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Adult care residences; revised definitions. Renames adult care residences as assisted living facilities, which are defined as congregate residential settings that provide or coordinate personal and health care services, 24-hour supervision, and assistance (scheduled and unscheduled) for the maintenance or care of four or more adults who are aged, infirm or disabled and who are cared for in a primarily residential setting. Exceptions are made for facilities licensed by the Department of Mental Health, Mental Retardation and Substance Abuse Services, the Department of Social Services, and certain U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, U.S. Department of Agriculture, and Virginia Housing Development Authority projects that may fall within the definition of assisted living facilities. The bill permits a person meeting the qualifications of administrator of a nursing home, as defined by the State Board of Social Services (State Board), to be deemed qualified to serve as an administrator of an assisted living facility or a combined assisted living facility/nursing home provided they are part of the same building. The bill directs the State Board to promulgate regulations to enable assisted living facilities to provide safe, secure environments for residents having serious cognitive impairments. This bill is a recommendation of the Joint Commission on Health Care.
