(210 ILCS 45/3-102.2)
Sec. 3-102.2. Supported congregate living arrangement demonstration. The
Illinois Department may grant no more than 3 waivers from the requirements of
this Act for facilities participating in the supported
congregate living arrangement demonstration. A joint waiver request must be
made by an applicant and the Department on Aging. If the Department on Aging
does not act upon an application within 60 days, the applicant may submit a
written waiver request on its own behalf. The waiver request must include a
specific program plan describing the types of residents to be served and the
services that will be provided in the facility. The Department shall conduct
an on-site review at each facility annually or as often as necessary to
ascertain compliance with the program plan, except that, during a statewide public health emergency, as defined in the Illinois Emergency Management Agency Act, the Department shall conduct on-site reviews and annual unannounced on-site visits to the extent feasible. The Department may revoke the
waiver if it determines that the facility is not in compliance with the program
plan. Nothing in this Section prohibits the Department from conducting
complaint investigations.
A facility granted a waiver under this Section is not subject to the
Illinois
Health Facilities Planning Act, unless it subsequently
applies for a
certificate
of need to convert to a nursing facility. A facility applying for conversion
shall meet the licensure and
certificate of need requirements in effect as of the date of application, and
this provision may not be waived.
