55 Pa. Code § 6000.361 - Adult day care centers in a nursing home
(a) If an adult day care center located in a
nursing home serves only nursing home clients, the Department should not
license the adult day care center.

nursing home serves one or more public clients (nonnursing home clients), with

care center using the following procedures:
(1) The inspector asks the provider or
inspects the facility to determine if the facility has a current License to
Operate a Health Care Facility issued by the Department of Health. This license
covers both skilled and intermediate nursing homes. This license should be
posted in a conspicuous place in the facility.
(2) If the facility has a current Department
of Health license, the provider shall acquire a letter from the Department of
Health stating that specific space within the nursing home building may be
utilized for adult day care.
(3) If
the provider produces a letter from the Department of Health stating that
specific space may be used for adult day care, standard procedures should be
followed.
(4) If the provider
cannot produce a letter from the Department of Health stating that space may be
used for adult day care, the Department of Human Services cannot license the
facility for adult day care and the facility may not provide adult day care to
nonnursing home clients.
