a) No
				individual shall be accepted for residency or remain in residence if the
				establishment cannot provide or secure appropriate services, if the individual
				requires a level of service or type of service for which the establishment is
				not licensed or which the establishment does not provide, or if the
				establishment does not have the staff appropriate in numbers and with
				appropriate skill to provide such services. (Section 75(a) of the
				Act)
b) Only adults may be accepted
				for residency. (Section 75(b) of the Act)

				residency if:

4) The person requires the assistance of more
				than one paid caregiver at any given time with an activity of daily
				living;
5) The person requires more
				than minimal assistance in moving to a safe area in an emergency. For the

				skills, and the disability specified is expected to be present for a period of
				not less than one year, but does not mean Alzheimer's disease and other forms
				of dementia based on organic or physical disorders. Nothing in this Section is
