|
| 7 |
| Sec. 5-5.01a. Supportive living facilities demonstration |

| project.
For the
the purpose of studying alternative settings |
| 9 |
| for long term care, the
Department may establish and provide |
| 10 |
| oversight for a demonstration project to
determine the |
| 11 |

| 20 |
| Demonstration sites shall be selected by the Department |
| 21 |
| based upon criteria
that may include the need for services in a |
| 22 |
| geographic area, the
availability of funding, and the site's |
| 23 |
| ability to meet the standards.
|
| 24 |
| The Department may adopt rules to implement this Section. |
| 25 |
| Rules that
establish or modify the services, standards, and |
| 26 |
| conditions for participation
in the demonstration project |
| 27 |
| shall be adopted by the Department in consultation
with the |
| 28 |
| Department on Aging, the Department of Rehabilitation |
| 29 |
| Services, and
the Department of Mental Health and Developmental |

successor agencies).
