Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 5, March 10, 2024

The physical facilities where Adult Day Habilitation Services and Supports are provided to individuals receiving comprehensive or supported living services shall meet all applicable fire, building, licensing and health regulations.

A. The physical facilities over which the service agency exercises control shall also meet the following requirements:

1. The physical facilities shall be inspected by the local fire authority prior to occupancy and at least once every three years thereafter. The local fire authority shall be informed of the purpose of the facility and potential mobility or ambulation needs of individuals served. If the purpose of the facility changes and impacts the individuals to be served in that facility, then the service agency shall be responsible for informing the local fire authority to determine if another inspection is required.

2. The service agency shall conduct fire drills at least quarterly at each physical facility.

3. All physical facilities shall have smoke detectors and fire extinguishers.

4. All physical facilities shall have first-aid supplies available.

5. All program approved service agencies shall comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) with regard to physical facilities.

B. If the service agency provides services in the community to persons who may visit the offices of the service agency (or another service operated facility), but the persons receive services at such location(s) for less than one hour per visit, requirements of section 8.610.A.1 -4 do not apply. The service agency shall, however, ensure that the facility complies with the ADA and contains no hazards which could jeopardize the health or safety of persons visiting the site.

C. For physical facilities used as community integrated sites over which the service agency exercises little or no control, the program approved service agency shall:

1. Conduct an on-site visit to ensure that there is no recognizable safety or health hazards which could jeopardize the health or safety of individuals;

2. Address any safety or health hazards which could jeopardize the health or safety of individuals with the owner/operator of the physical facility.

D. Each program approved service agency shall have written plans to address emergencies which occur during service hours regardless of service location or type of program.
