living facility integrates |

| housing with health, personal care, and supportive
services and |

| is a designated setting that offers residents their own
|
| 17 |
| separate, private, and distinct living units.
|
| 18 |
| Sites for the operation of the program
shall be selected by |
| 19 |
| the Department based upon criteria
that may include the need |
| 20 |
| for services in a geographic area, the
availability of funding, |
| 21 |
| and the site's ability to meet the standards.
|
| 22 |
| The Department may adopt rules to implement this Section. |
