disorder
| ||
as classified in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of | ||
Mental Disorders,

in the areas of
self-maintenance,
social functioning, | ||
activities of community living and work 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 | ||

treatment is expected to
extend beyond a 3 week period for | ||
rehabilitative purposes and is certified as
temporary by a | ||
physician; or
| ||
(15) other reasons prescribed by the Department by | ||
rule.
| ||
(d) A resident with a condition listed in items (1) | ||
through (15) of
subsection (c) shall have
his or her residency | ||
terminated.
| ||
(e) Residency shall be terminated when services available | ||
to the resident
in
the establishment
are no longer adequate to | ||
meet the needs of the resident. This provision shall
not
be | ||
interpreted as
limiting the authority of the Department to | ||
require the residency termination
of individuals.
| ||
(f) Subsection (d) of this Section shall not apply to
| ||
terminally
ill residents who
receive or would qualify for | ||
hospice care and such care is coordinated by

Program
Licensing Act or other | ||
licensed health care professional employed by a
licensed home | ||
health
agency and the establishment and all parties agree to | ||
the continued residency.
| ||
(g) Items (3), (4), (5), and (9) of subsection (c) shall | ||
not apply to
a quadriplegic, paraplegic, or
individual with | ||
neuro-muscular diseases, such as muscular dystrophy and
| ||
multiple
sclerosis, or other chronic diseases and conditions | ||
as defined by rule if the
individual is able
to communicate his | ||
or her needs and does not require assistance with complex
| ||
medical
problems, and the establishment is able to accommodate | ||
the individual's needs.
The Department shall prescribe rules | ||
pursuant to this Section that address
special safety and | ||
service needs of these individuals.
| ||
(h) For the purposes of items (7) through (10) of | ||
subsection (c), a
licensed health care professional may not
be | ||
employed by the owner or operator of the establishment, its | ||
parent entity,
or any other entity with ownership common to | ||
either the owner or operator of
the establishment or parent | ||
entity, including but not limited to an affiliate
of the owner | ||
or operator of the establishment. Nothing in this Section is
| ||
meant to limit a resident's right to
choose his or her health | ||
care provider.
| ||
(i) Subsection (h) is not applicable to residents admitted | ||
to an assisted living establishment under a life care contract | ||
as defined in the Life Care Facilities Act if the life care | ||
facility has both an assisted living establishment and a | ||
skilled nursing facility. A licensed health care professional | ||
providing health-related or supportive services at a life care | ||
assisted living or shared housing establishment must be | ||
employed by an entity licensed by the Department under the | ||
Nursing Home Care Act or the Home Health, Home Services, and | ||
Home Nursing Agency Licensing Act.
