N.J. Admin. Code § 10:37A-12.6 - Licensing supervised residences in family care homes
(a) The PA shall develop a written services
agreement with the individual who operates a supervised residence in a family
care home.
(b) The content of the
services agreement between the PA and the individual who operates a supervised
residence in a family care home shall have been approved by the
Division.
(c) DOH may inspect any
proposed supervised residence in a family care home and review all agency and
program operations, policies, procedures, and supporting documentation for
compliance with the provisions of this chapter and all other applicable rules.
The PA shall notify DCN&L, at the address at
N.J.A.C.
10:37A-12.1(a), of any
proposed supervised residence in a family care home (before placing a consumer
in it), of any additional bed capacity, and any new family care home that is
closed. If adding a new supervised residence in a family care home or
increasing bed capacity will exceed the licensed capacity of the family care
program, the PA shall not place a consumer in the new supervised residence in a
family care home or in the new bed until the licensed capacity is increased.
The PA shall not place a consumer in a new supervised residence in a family
care home in a county in which it is not licensed to operate supervised
residences in family care homes until such a license is issued. The PA shall
notify DCN&L, of all supervised residences in family care homes at the time
of the housing inspection.
(d) DOH
shall notify the PA, in writing, of any violations.
(e) Once the PA has corrected all violations,
the PA shall request a final site inspection and shall submit documents
indicating habitability, if requested by DOH.
(f) A license shall be issued once intent to
comply with all program requirements is demonstrated, inspections, if any, are
satisfactory, and there is reasonable assurance that the supervised residences
in family care home(s) shall be operated in a manner required by this
chapter.
(g) The license shall be
issued by DOH.
(h) The license
shall be issued to the PA for a period of two years and shall be limited to a
defined number of supervised residences in family care homes within a county
and shall indicate the maximum number of consumers to be served. No supervised
residence in a family care home shall serve more than three consumers at any
one time (unless up to four consumers were being served prior to January 3,
2005). The PA shall not exceed the capacity specified on the license.
(i) The license shall be available on the
PA's premises for review by DCN&L and/or DOH, and any members of the
public, during normal business hours.
