Approximately ninety percent (90%) of the pneumonia and influenza deaths are in those over sixty-five (65) years of age;

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that individuals over the age of sixty-five (65) years have annual flu shots and a pneumococcal vaccine one (1) time;
(4)
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention further suggests that consent for immunization be acquired at the time of nursing home admission;
(5)
Current utilization of the flu shots by nursing home residents is approximately fifty percent (50%);
(6)
The elderly living in an institutional setting, where disease may be more readily transmitted, are less protected than those living in the community; and
(7)
The pneumococcal vaccine utilization by nursing home residents is approximately thirty percent (30%).

The General Assembly recognizes that:
(1)
Facilities offering assisted living services are a necessary part of the continuum of long-term care in the State of Arkansas;
(2)
Facilities offering assisted living services should be operated and regulated as residential environments with supportive services and not as medical or nursing facilities;
(3)
The services available in these facilities, either directly or through contract or agreement, are intended to help residents remain as independent as possible; and
(4)
Residential care facilities have been providing many assisted living services for years and should be allowed to participate in the new assisted living program.
