Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 17, September 10, 2024

A. The resident or the resident's legal representative shall notify the Center twenty-four (24) hours in advance of any planned absences of over ten hours.

B. A resident whose bed is held during an absence shall be responsible for any charges that accrued before or during the leave period. If the resident or resident's legal representative does not agree in writing to pay the reservation charge, the Center may reassign the resident's bed to another resident or discharge the resident and place the resident on the Center's wait list.

C. There shall be no room reservation charge to a Medicaid resident on medical leave if no source of payment, other than the resident's funds, are available and the Center's current occupancy is less than ninety percent (90%) of capacity.

D. Calculation of room reservation charges shall be as follows:

1. For non-Veteran Medicaid residents the room reservation charge shall be the Center's current Medicaid per diem rate, less total food and linen service costs as computed from the most recent Med-13 Cost Report submitted to the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing (HCPF). In no case shall the charge be greater than the per diem rate less two dollars ($2).

2. For Veteran Medicaid residents the room reservation charge shall be the Center's current Medicaid per diem rate less total food and linen service costs as computed from the most recent Med-13 Cost Report submitted to the HCPF. In no case shall the charge be greater than the per diem rate less two dollars ($2). If the resident is absent from the Center less than ninety-six (960 hours, the current per diem rate provided by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs shall be subtracted from the room charge.

Room reservation charges for a Veteran Medicaid resident, whose absence results in a loss of U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs per diem payment (greater than 96 hours), shall include the current per diem reimbursement provided by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, retroactive to the resident's date of departure.

3. For private pay residents the room reservation charge shall be the Center's private pay daily rate, less the daily total food and linen service costs as computed from the most recent Med-13 Cost Report submitted to HCPF.

4. Homelake Domiciliary residents shall be allowed thirty (30) days of approved leave per state fiscal year, excluding Medical Leave. Residents absent from the domiciliary over thirty days per fiscal year may be subject to discharge. The Homelake Domiciliary room reservation charge during any approved leave shall be the resident's current daily rate at the time of leave. At the resident's request, a domiciliary room shall be held for a resident admitted to the nursing home for up to thirty days at the resident's current daily rate. If the resident fails to return to the facility within thirty days, the resident shall be evaluated for continued stay at the domiciliary. If the resident is not approved for continued stay, the resident shall be given five business days to vacate the Homelake Domiciliary. The resident shall be responsible for the payment of rent through the day of departure.

E. A bed may be held without charge for an approved applicant for up to two weeks from the date of acceptance of the offer of admission. Bed holds prior to admission may exceed two weeks from the date of acceptance with the approval of the Center's administrator; however, the applicant shall be responsible for the daily rate following the first two weeks from the date of acceptance of the offer of admission.
