HB 1320: Adult family homes

Modifying provisions concerning adult family homes.

Summary

  • $ The personal records and the separate bedroom of the adult family home provider are off limits to inspectors unless the visit is made as part of a complaint investigation or for the initial inspection for licensing the home.
  • $ Notice of violations must be sent within 10 working days of the completed inspection.
  • Consultation and technical assistance must be offered to providers who have been found to have a violation during the inspection process if the provider requests such assistance.
  • $ The minimum qualifications needed to become a licensed adult family home provider are modified; including a highschool diploma or a general educational development (GED) certificate and at least 320 hours of successful direct caregiving experience to adults or children in a licensed contracted setting. English literacy required or assure that there is a person on staff and available who is.
  • $ The DSHS is required to give processing priority or may issue a provisional license to applicants seeking a new license when purchasing a home with an existing license and just need an on-site inspection.
  • $ The DSHS is required to develop educational opportunities for licensing and quality assurance staff so they can become familiar with the actual environment and daily hands-on care and services in an adult family home.
