Illinois Administrative Code › Title 89 - SOCIAL SERVICES › Part 146 - SPECIALIZED HEALTH CARE DELIVERY SYSTEMS › Subpart B - SUPPORTIVE LIVING PROGRAM (SLP) SETTINGS › Section 146.220 - Resident Participation Requirements

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) The SLP setting may admit or retain
				residents whose needs can be met through the services described in Section
				146.230. The following
				criteria shall be met prior to admission to the SLP setting:
1) Be age 22 years or over with a physical
				disability (as determined by the Social Security Administration) or elderly
				(age 65 years or over);
2) Be
				screened by the appropriate Department on Aging contracted Care Coordination
				Unit (DoA CCU) or the Department of Human Services Division of Rehabilitation
				Services (DHS-DRS) screening agency and found to be in need of nursing facility
				level of care. A new Determination of Need (DON), or successor tool, screen is
				not needed for a resident who is transferring between SLP providers or comes
				from a nursing facility with no break in service. It is the admitting SLP
				provider's responsibility to ensure that a screening document is received from
				the transferring SLP setting or nursing facility. If the individual is
				transferring directly from a nursing facility and has a history of a
				developmental disability or serious mental illness, as evidenced in the medical
				history accompanying the individual, the SLP provider must submit a referral
				for a specialized evaluation to be completed by the DHS Division of
				Developmental Disabilities (DHS-DDD) Independent Service Coordination (ISC)
				agency or the Division of Mental Health (DHS-DMH) Preadmission Screening
				Resident Review (PASRR) agency to evaluate for need for active treatment or the
				existence of serious functional risks and needs associated with the diagnosis
				to determine if they exceed the capacity of the SLP setting. Private pay
				individuals may choose to be admitted into the SLP setting when the screening
				assessment does not justify nursing facility level of care;
3) If further evaluation is necessary due to
				the suspicion of a developmental disability or serious mental illness, the
				developmental disability or serious mental illness must be determined by a
				qualified DHS-DDD ISC agent or DHS-DMH preadmission screening (PAS) agent. The
				presence of a developmental disability does not automatically preclude
				admission to the SLP unless there is the need of continuous active treatment
				for which the individual should be considered for other DHS-DDD services not
				available through the SLP. The presence of a serious mental illness does not
				automatically preclude admission to the SLP unless the psychiatric symptoms,
				behavioral risk, and major treatment adherence/engagement problem persist at a
				sufficiently serious level that exceeds the service capabilities of the SLP
				provider. The evaluation and determination of whether the needs are within the
				SLP provider capability or beyond the SLP provider capacity is determined by
				the DHS-DDD ISC or DHS-DMH PAS agent; and
