				must be available for inspection and review by properly identified
				representatives of the Department.

				violations, the assisted living community will receive a written report of
				inspection. If the assisted living community disagrees with the facts and
				conclusions stated in the inspection report, it must submit its written
				statement explaining its disagreement and any evidence supporting the
				disagreement to the Department within 10 days of the receipt of the written
				inspection report. Where the Department concurs with the written statement of
				the assisted living community, it will issue a revised inspection report to the
				assisted living community.

				Within 10 days of receipt of the written report of inspection, the assisted

				identified. The plan of correction must identify the specific actions that the
				assisted living community will take by date certain to come into compliance
				with each rule for which a deficient practice was identified.

				report and plan of correction must be displayed in the assisted living
				community in a location that is routinely used by the community to communicate
				information to residents and visitors. Additionally, if the community maintains
				a website, it shall post a web link in a prominent location on the main page of
				the website that provides access to copies of all inspection reports and plans
				of correction from the previous 18 months. When the Department develops a
				website for receiving plans of correction electronically and notifies the
				community of the appropriate internet address, the community also must file its
				plan of correction electronically on the Department's website within 10 days of
				receipt of the report of inspection.
(5) The assisted living community must take
				the corrective actions necessary to achieve compliance with the
				rules.

				licensed pursuant to these rules may hold itself out as offering assisted
				living care.
