Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
(a) The rules in this
				chapter pertain to all facilities which provide assisted living services. These
				rules constitute the basis for the licensure of assisted living residences,
				comprehensive personal care homes, and assisted living programs by the New Jersey
				State Department of Health and Senior Services.
(b) Assisted living residences shall comply with
				N.J.A.C. 8:36-1 through 21; comprehensive personal care homes shall comply with
				N.J.A.C. 8:36-1 through 21, where applicable, and 22; and assisted living programs
				shall comply with N.J.A.C. 8:36-1 through 22, where applicable, and 23.
New Jersey Administrative Code › Title 8 - HEALTH › Chapter 36 - STANDARDS FOR LICENSURE OF ASSISTED LIVING RESIDENCES, COMPREHENSIVE PERSONAL CARE HOMES, AND ASSISTED LIVING PROGRAMS › Subchapter 1 - GENERAL PROVISIONS › Section 8:36-1.2 - Purpose

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
(a) The purpose of this
				chapter is to establish minimum standards with which an assisted living residence,
				comprehensive personal care home or assisted living program must comply in order to
				be licensed to operate in New Jersey.
(b) The purpose of these rules is to establish
				standards for assisted living residences, comprehensive personal care homes (which
				may be collectively referred to as assisted living facilities) and assisted living
				programs, all of which are intended to promote "aging in place" in a homelike
				setting for frail elderly and disabled persons, including persons who require
				nursing home level of care. Assisted living residences, comprehensive personal care
				homes and assisted living programs assure that residents receive supportive health
				and social services as they are needed to enable them to maintain their
				independence, individuality, privacy, and dignity in an apartment-style living unit
				or, in the case of assisted living programs, a living unit in publicly subsidized
				housing. The assisted living environment actively encourages and supports these
				values through effective methods of service delivery and facility or program
				operation and promotes resident self direction and personal decision-making while
				protecting residents' health and safety.
(c) An assisted living residence or comprehensive
				personal care home offers a suitable living arrangement for persons with a range of
				capabilities, disabilities, frailties, and strengths. In general, however, assisted
				living is not appropriate for individuals who are incapable of responding to their
				environment, expressing volition, interacting, or demonstrating any independent
				activity. For example, individuals in a persistent vegetative state should not be
				placed or cared for in an assisted living residence, comprehensive personal care
				home or assisted living program.
(d) In
				the case of hospice, the purpose of these rules is to promote the establishment of
				assisted living residences or comprehensive personal care homes to serve terminally
				ill persons who lack adequate caregiving support to meet their needs while residing
				at home.
