Section 13-6 - Application Requirements

(a) An applicant for licensure as an adult foster care home must complete an application and provide verification of the following before it can be considered for a provisional license under this pilot project:

(b) It shall complete the appropriate application, available from the Licensing Division. In the event that a change of ownership occurs, the license will not be automatically transferred. The potential new owner must be approved under these requirements in order for the home to continue to function as an adult foster care home. If the new owner is not approved, or if the new owner is not interested in continuing to operate the home as an adult foster care home, the current licensee must arrange for an orderly, safe transfer of each resident client, must notify the Licensing Division as to the transfer disposition of each resident client, and must deliver or mail the original license back to the Licensing Division.

(d) It shall submit with the application a floor plan of the home for review and approval.

(e) It shall pay a one-time fee of one hundred dollars ($100.00) to the Department.

(f) It shall successfully pass all required inspections of the proposed home by the Department, by a public health nurse, or by such other employee of the local department of health as is available, subject to the prior approval of the Department, as follows:

  • (i) It shall pass an inspection for construction requirements and Life Safety Code prior to admitting any resident clients. In addition, required policies and procedures will be submitted to the Licensing Division for approval prior to the admission of resident clients. Once these preliminary reviews are successfully completed, a provisional license will be issued, and resident clients may be admitted.
  • (ii) An initial inspection of care and quality of life will be unannounced, and will occur following the admission of clients, and annually thereafter.

(g) It shall be licensed pursuant to Chapter 1, Rules and Regulations for Health Care Facilities Licensure Fees.
