LOCATED IN NURSING HOMES
§ 6000.361. Adult day care centers located in a nursing home.
(a) If an adult day care center located in a nursing home serves only nursing home clients, the Department should not license the adult day care center.
(b) If an adult day care center located in a nursing home serves one or more public clients (nonnursing home clients), with at least a total of four clients, the Department should license the adult day care center using the following procedures:
(1) The inspector asks the provider or inspects the facility to determine if the facility has a current License to Operate a Health Care Facility issued by the Department of Health. This license covers both skilled and intermediate nursing homes. This license should be posted in a conspicuous place in the facility.
(2) If the facility has a current Department of Health license, the provider shall acquire a letter from the Department of Health stating that specific space within the nursing home building may be utilized for adult day care.
(3) If the provider produces a letter from the Department of Health stating that specific space may be used for adult day care, standard procedures should be followed.
(4) If the provider cannot produce a letter from the Department of Health stating that space may be used for adult day care, the Department of Human Services cannot license the facility for adult day care and the facility may not provide adult day care to nonnursing home clients.
