|
| 6 |
| (305 ILCS 5/5-5.01a)
|
| 7 |
| Sec. 5-5.01a. Supportive living facilities demonstration |
| 8 |
| project.
For the purpose of studying alternative settings for |
| 9 |
| long term care, the
Department may establish and provide |
| 10 |
| oversight for a demonstration project to
determine the |
| 11 |
| viability of supportive living facilities that seek to promote
|
| 12 |
| resident independence, dignity, respect, and well-being in the |
| 13 |
| most
cost-effective manner.
|
| 14 |
| A supportive living facility is either a free-standing |
| 15 |
| facility or a distinct
physical and operational entity within a |
| 16 |
| nursing facility. A supportive
living facility integrates |
| 17 |
| housing with health, personal care, and supportive
services and |
| 18 |
| is a designated setting that offers residents their own
|
| 19 |
| separate, private, and distinct living units.
|
| 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 |
| 30 |
| Disabilities (or their
successor agencies). |
| 31 |
| The Long Term Care Subcommittee of the Medicaid Advisory |
| 32 |
| Committee shall provide advice to the Director of Public Aid |
