§ 1-853.1. Investigation of application by not-for-profit life care community for certificate of need
2. The record of the applicant's current and prior ownership, operation, and management of similar facilities in this state and in any other state. The investigation of such record shall include, but not be limited to, inquiry to the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman Office, the state Medicaid Fraud Control Unit, and the state licensure and certification agency;
2. Approval of the initial certificate of need shall include open admission with respect to fifty percent (50%) of the nursing care beds. With respect to the remaining nursing care beds, open admission shall only be allowed during the first seven (7) years following the initial licensure of nursing care beds in the life care community.
b. an individual who has executed a written agreement for services with the facility and who has been a bona fide resident of the portion of the life care community for which a certificate of need bed is not required for a period of less than thirty (30) days and requires skilled care that was not originally contemplated upon admission to the life care community,
c. an individual who has executed a written agreement for services with the facility and whose physician certifies that the individual is likely to be able to move to a portion of the life care community for which a certificate of need bed is not required in thirty (30) days or less after entering the life care community, or
d. an individual who is a family member (spouse, parent, child, sibling, aunt, uncle or first cousin by blood, marriage or adoption) of an individual who has executed a written agreement for services with the facility and resides in the portion of the life care community for which a certificate of need bed is not required.
C. The State Department of Health may approve a subsequent certificate of need for nursing care beds for a not-for-profit life care community that has obtained a certificate of need pursuant to this section when a subsequent application does not cause the nursing care beds to exceed twenty percent (20%) of the total number of units in the life care community for which no certificate of need is required. No open admission period shall be authorized for the additional nursing care beds.
