26 Tex. Admin. Code § 553.1 - Purpose and Application
(a) The purpose
of this chapter is to establish:
(1) the
criteria and application procedure for licensing an assisted living
facility;
(2) the licensing
standards with which an assisted living facility must comply and that serve as
a basis for licensure inspections, including:
(A) operation and resident care standards;
and
(B) facility construction
standards;
(3) the
inspections and investigations HHSC may conduct as a regulatory authority;
and
(4) enforcement actions HHSC
may take against a facility.
(b) This chapter applies to a facility
licensed or subject to being licensed in accordance with Texas Health and
Safety Code, Chapter 247. Assisted living services are driven by a philosophy
that emphasizes personal dignity and autonomy to age in place in a residential
setting while receiving increasing or decreasing levels of services as the
person's needs change.
