Public Act 100-0583 | ||||
| ||||
| ||||
AN ACT concerning public aid.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||
represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||
Section 5. The Illinois Public Aid Code is amended by | ||||
changing Section 5-5.01a as follows:
| ||||
(305 ILCS 5/5-5.01a)
| ||||
Sec. 5-5.01a. Supportive living facilities program. | ||||
(a) The
Department shall establish and provide oversight | ||||
for a program of supportive living facilities that seek to | ||||
promote
resident independence, dignity, respect, and | ||||
well-being in the most
cost-effective manner.
| ||||
A supportive living facility is (i) either a free-standing | ||||
facility or (ii) a distinct
physical and operational entity | ||||
within a mixed-use building that meets the criteria established | ||||
in subsection (d) nursing facility . A supportive
living | ||||
facility integrates housing with health, personal care, and | ||||
supportive
services and is a designated setting that offers | ||||
residents their own
separate, private, and distinct living | ||||
units.
| ||||
Sites for the operation of the program
shall be selected by | ||||
the Department based upon criteria
that may include the need | ||||
for services in a geographic area, the
availability of funding, | ||||
and the site's ability to meet the standards.
|
(b) Beginning July 1, 2014, subject to federal approval, | ||
the Medicaid rates for supportive living facilities shall be | ||
equal to the supportive living facility Medicaid rate effective | ||
on June 30, 2014 increased by 8.85%.
Once the assessment | ||
imposed at Article V-G of this Code is determined to be a | ||
permissible tax under Title XIX of the Social Security Act, the | ||
Department shall increase the Medicaid rates for supportive | ||
living facilities effective on July 1, 2014 by 9.09%. The | ||
Department shall apply this increase retroactively to coincide | ||
with the imposition of the assessment in Article V-G of this | ||
Code in accordance with the approval for federal financial | ||
participation by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid | ||
Services. | ||
The Medicaid rates for supportive living facilities | ||
effective on July 1, 2017 must be equal to the rates in effect | ||
for supportive living facilities on June 30, 2017 increased by | ||
2.8%. | ||
(c) The Department may adopt rules to implement this | ||
Section. Rules that
establish or modify the services, | ||
standards, and conditions for participation
in the program | ||
shall be adopted by the Department in consultation
with the | ||
Department on Aging, the Department of Rehabilitation | ||
Services, and
the Department of Mental Health and Developmental | ||
Disabilities (or their
successor agencies).
| ||
(d) Subject to federal approval by the Centers for Medicare | ||
and Medicaid Services, the Department shall accept for |
consideration of certification under the program any | ||
application for a site or building where distinct parts of the | ||
site or building are designated for purposes other than the | ||
provision of supportive living services, but only if: | ||
(1) those distinct parts of the site or building are | ||
not designated for the purpose of providing assisted living | ||
services as required under the Assisted Living and Shared | ||
Housing Act; | ||
(2) those distinct parts of the site or building are | ||
completely separate from the part of the building used for | ||
the provision of supportive living program services, | ||
including separate entrances; | ||
(3) those distinct parts of the site or building do not | ||
share any common spaces with the part of the building used | ||
for the provision of supportive living program services; | ||
and | ||
(4) those distinct parts of the site or building do not | ||
share staffing with the part of the building used for the | ||
provision of supportive living program services. | ||
(e) Facilities or distinct parts of facilities which are | ||
selected as supportive
living facilities and are in good | ||
standing with the Department's rules are
exempt from the | ||
provisions of the Nursing Home Care Act and the Illinois Health
| ||
Facilities Planning Act.
