The Department will accept applications for boarding care provider agreements from applicants residing in fifteen areas of Maine. The areas were selected on the basis of current availability of long-term care beds. All areas identified below have fewer than the mean number of long-term care beds for the State as a whole. Long-term care beds include boarding care (BC), adult foster care (AFC), and intermediate care (ICF) beds. Bed availability was determined according to the following formula:
(3 x #BC beds) + (2 x #AFC beds) + (# of ICF beds)/Population/1000 65+
The Department reserves the right to allocate any or all or the 60 beds to any of the priority areas based on the quality of applications received.
