SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Certificate of public need. Authorizes, notwithstanding the provisions of the moratorium on nursing home bed construction/additions which was in effect until July 1, 1996, the Commissioner of Health to accept and approve a request to amend the conditions of a certificate of public need issued for an increase in beds in which nursing facility or extended care services are provided to allow such facility to continue, for three years after the date of issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the second mid-rise residential-unit building associated with the facility or until June 30, 2003, whichever occurs earlier, to admit persons, other than residents of the cooperative units, to its nursing facility beds when such facility (i) is operated by an association described in § 55-458; (ii) was created in connection with a real estate cooperative; (iii) offers its residents a level of nursing services consistent with the definition of continuing care in Chapter 49 (§ 38.2-4900) of Title 38.2; and (iv) was issued a certificate of public need prior to October 3, 1995. The bill also creates a COPN exception to the request for applications (RFAs) procedure and requires the Commissioner to accept and authorizes him to approve an application for an increase of 60 beds in a described nursing facility in Giles County which will be dedicated to the provision of skilled nursing, hospice services, and care of persons with Alzheimer's and related diseases.
