Title 77 - PUBLIC HEALTH
Part 396 - LIFE CARE FACILITIES CONTRACT CODE
Section 396.30 - Application for a Permit
Universal Citation: 77 IL Admin Code ยง 396.30
Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 12, March 22, 2024
a) Applications shall be made on forms provided by the Department. Applications forms may be obtained by writing to:
Illinois Department of Public Health
Division of Health Statistics and Policy Development
535 West Jefferson Street, Second Floor
Springfield, Illinois 62761
b) An application for a permit to operate a life care facility must contain the following:
1) A copy of the proposed form of life care
contract to be entered into with residents (Section 4 of the Act).
2) A copy of the letter of credit or escrow
agreement as provided by Section 7 of the Act. To allow the Department to
determine the provider's compliance with Section 7 of the Act, a complete,
detailed written description of any long-term financing of the facility must be
submitted with the application. The submission of a copy of the escrow
agreement or letter of credit will fulfill this requirement if the document
contains such a description.
3) A
permit application fee of $100.00 (Section 4 of the Act).
4) An audited statement of the facility's
financial position in each of the three years prior to the application.
A) If the facility has not previously
existed, audited financial statements, including an equity statement, with
descriptions of the facility's start-up capital and financing are
required.
B) Financial statements
of the provider shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles and reported upon by certified public accountants with
generally accepted auditing standards.
5) The identity of the licensed or facilities
at which licensed care will be provided to those residents in need of such
care, as provided for in life care contract.
A) Newly constructed facilities may make
licensed long term care beds available to non-residents only with the approval
of the Department. Approval will be based upon whether the facility will be
providing sufficient licensed beds to accomodate its residents without having
to transfer or discharge any resident or non-resident. Facilities seeking such
approval shall include with the application a written explanation as to how the
above will be accomplished. This explanation shall include at a minimum, the
number and type of licensed beds at the facility, the maximum number of beds
that will be used for non-residents, a description of any plans to phase out
the number of beds to be used for non-residents, and projections of the number
and types of licensed beds that will be needed for residents, along with the
basis for those projections. Facilities which received a "continuum of care
variance" from the Illinois Health Facilities Planning Board under 77 Ill. Adm.
Code
1110.1730(c)(3)
will not receive approval to admit
non-residents to long-term care beds.
B) If the life care facility contains no
licensed long-term care beds, a written explanation of plans to meet the
eventual needs of those residents who require contractually entitled levels of
care, beyond maintenance services in living units, must be provided to the
Department at the time of application. "Living units", and "Maintenance
Services" are defined in Section
396.10 of the Life
Care Facilities Contract Code.
