a. means any establishment or institution which offers, provides or supports residential accommodations, food service, and supportive assistance to any of its residents or houses any residents requiring supportive assistance who are not related to the owner or administrator of the home by blood or marriage. A residential care home shall not include:
The residents of a residential care home shall be ambulatory and essentially capable of participating in their own activities of daily living, but shall not routinely require nursing services, and
provided, however, the leasing of rooms directly or indirectly to residents of a home shall not void the application of the provisions of the Residential Care Act or rules promulgated pursuant thereto.
The State Board of Health shall promulgate rules for such residential homes pursuant to the provisions of Section 1-836 of this title;
17. “Owner” means a person, corporation, partnership, association, or other entity which owns or leases a home or part of a home, directly or indirectly, to residents. The person or entity that stands to profit or lose as a result of the financial success or failure of the operation shall be presumed to be the owner of the home;
18. “Personal care” means assistance with meals, dressing, movement, bathing or other personal needs or maintenance, or general supervision of the physical and mental well-being of a person, who is incapable of maintaining a private, independent residence, or who is unable to manage all activities of daily living without assistance, whether or not a guardian has been appointed for the person;
20. “Representative of a resident” means a court-appointed guardian, or if there is no court-appointed guardian, a relative or other person designated in writing by the resident. No owner, agent, employee, or person with a pecuniary interest in the residential facility or relative thereof shall be a representative of a resident unless the person is appointed by the court;
