Section 5:27A-2.9 - Special residential health care services

(a) Any existing or new residential health care facility proposing to establish a specialized program where the residents in such a program shall constitute a substantial proportion of its census shall submit a plan for provision of services appropriate to the needs of these residents. Such a plan shall be reviewed by the Department and approval shall be received prior to the initiation of such admissions and services. This requirement shall not apply to a facility which is serving residents with special needs (for example, mental illness or diabetes) as part of its normal admission and retention policies.

(b) The Department may impose operational standards derived from the plan submitted by the facility and from other licensure rules appropriate to this population as a condition on the issuance of a license. Such conditions shall be subject to the enforcement actions and procedures specified at N.J.A.C. 5:27A-18.
