1 AN ACT concerning the care of Alzheimer's disease
2 patients.
3 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
4 represented in the General Assembly:
5 Section 5. The Alternative Health Care Delivery Act is
6 amended by changing Sections 30 and 35 as follows:
7 (210 ILCS 3/30)
8 Sec. 30. Demonstration program requirements. The
9 requirements set forth in this Section shall apply to
10 demonstration programs.
11 (a) There shall be no more than:
12 (i) 3 subacute care hospital alternative health
13 care models in the City of Chicago (one of which shall be
14 located on a designated site and shall have been licensed
15 as a hospital under the Illinois Hospital Licensing Act
16 within the 10 years immediately before the application
17 for a license);
18 (ii) 2 subacute care hospital alternative health
19 care models in the demonstration program for each of the
20 following areas:
21 (1) Cook County outside the City of Chicago.
22 (2) DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry, and Will
23 Counties.
24 (3) Municipalities with a population greater
25 than 50,000 not located in the areas described in
26 item (i) of subsection (a) and paragraphs (1) and
27 (2) of item (ii) of subsection (a); and
28 (iii) 4 subacute care hospital alternative health
29 care models in the demonstration program for rural areas.
30 In selecting among applicants for these licenses in rural
31 areas, the Health Facilities Planning Board and the
SB1613 Enrolled -2- LRB9112970JSpc
1 Department shall give preference to hospitals that may be
2 unable for economic reasons to provide continued service to
3 the community in which they are located unless the hospital
4 were to receive an alternative health care model license.
5 (a-5) There shall be no more than a total of 12
6 postsurgical recovery care center alternative health care
7 models in the demonstration program, located as follows:
8 (1) Two in the City of Chicago.
9 (2) Two in Cook County outside the City of Chicago.
10 At least one of these shall be owned or operated by a
11 hospital devoted exclusively to caring for children.
12 (3) Two in Kane, Lake, and McHenry Counties.
13 (4) Four in municipalities with a population of
14 50,000 or more not located in the areas described in
15 paragraphs (1), (2), and (3), 3 of which shall be owned
16 or operated by hospitals, at least 2 of which shall be
17 located in counties with a population of less than
18 175,000, according to the most recent decennial census
19 for which data are available, and one of which shall be
20 owned or operated by an ambulatory surgical treatment
21 center.
22 (5) Two in rural areas, both of which shall be
23 owned or operated by hospitals.
24 There shall be no postsurgical recovery care center
25 alternative health care models located in counties with
26 populations greater than 600,000 but less than 1,000,000. A
27 proposed postsurgical recovery care center must be owned or
28 operated by a hospital if it is to be located within, or will
29 primarily serve the residents of, a health service area in
30 which more than 60% of the gross patient revenue of the
31 hospitals within that health service area are derived from
32 Medicaid and Medicare, according to the most recently
33 available calendar year data from the Illinois Health Care
34 Cost Containment Council. Nothing in this paragraph shall
SB1613 Enrolled -3- LRB9112970JSpc
1 preclude a hospital and an ambulatory surgical treatment
2 center from forming a joint venture or developing a
3 collaborative agreement to own or operate a postsurgical
4 recovery care center.
5 (a-10) There shall be no more than a total of 8
6 children's respite care center alternative health care models

15 areas described in paragraphs (1), (2), or (3).
16 (5) A total of 2 in rural areas, as defined by the
17 Health Facilities Planning Board.
18 No more than one children's respite care model owned and
19 operated by a licensed skilled pediatric facility shall be
20 located in each of the areas designated in this subsection
21 (a-10).
22 (a-15) There shall be an authorized community-based
23 residential rehabilitation center alternative health care
24 model in the demonstration program. The community-based
25 residential rehabilitation center shall be located in the
26 area of Illinois south of Interstate Highway 70.
27 (a-20) There shall be an authorized Alzheimer's disease
28 management center alternative health care model in the
29 demonstration program. The Alzheimer's disease management
30 center shall be located in Will County, owned by a
31 not-for-profit entity, and endorsed by a resolution approved
32 by the county board before the effective date of this
33 amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly.
34 (b) Alternative health care models, other than a model
SB1613 Enrolled -4- LRB9112970JSpc
1 authorized under subsection (a-20), shall obtain a
2 certificate of need from the Illinois Health Facilities
3 Planning Board under the Illinois Health Facilities Planning
4 Act before receiving a license by the Department. If, after
5 obtaining its initial certificate of need, an alternative
6 health care delivery model that is a community based
7 residential rehabilitation center seeks to increase the bed
8 capacity of that center, it must obtain a certificate of need
9 from the Illinois Health Facilities Planning Board before
10 increasing the bed capacity. Alternative health care models
11 in medically underserved areas shall receive priority in
12 obtaining a certificate of need.
13 (c) An alternative health care model license shall be
14 issued for a period of one year and shall be annually renewed
15 if the facility or program is in substantial compliance with
16 the Department's rules adopted under this Act. A licensed
17 alternative health care model that continues to be in
18 substantial compliance after the conclusion of the
19 demonstration program shall be eligible for annual renewals
20 unless and until a different licensure program for that type
21 of health care model is established by legislation. The
22 Department may issue a provisional license to any alternative
23 health care model that does not substantially comply with the
24 provisions of this Act and the rules adopted under this Act
25 if (i) the Department finds that the alternative health care
26 model has undertaken changes and corrections which upon
27 completion will render the alternative health care model in
28 substantial compliance with this Act and rules and (ii) the
29 health and safety of the patients of the alternative health
30 care model will be protected during the period for which the
31 provisional license is issued. The Department shall advise
32 the licensee of the conditions under which the provisional
33 license is issued, including the manner in which the
34 alternative health care model fails to comply with the
SB1613 Enrolled -5- LRB9112970JSpc
1 provisions of this Act and rules, and the time within which
2 the changes and corrections necessary for the alternative
3 health care model to substantially comply with this Act and
4 rules shall be completed.
5 (d) Alternative health care models shall seek
6 certification under Titles XVIII and XIX of the federal
7 Social Security Act. In addition, alternative health care
8 models shall provide charitable care consistent with that
9 provided by comparable health care providers in the
10 geographic area.
11 (d-5) The Illinois Department of Public Aid, in
12 cooperation with the Illinois Department of Public Health,
13 shall develop and implement a reimbursement methodology for
14 all facilities participating in the demonstration program.
15 The Illinois Department of Public Aid shall keep a record of
16 services provided under the demonstration program to
17 recipients of medical assistance under the Illinois Public
18 Aid Code and shall submit an annual report of that
19 information to the Illinois Department of Public Health.
20 (e) Alternative health care models shall, to the extent
21 possible, link and integrate their services with nearby
22 health care facilities.
23 (f) Each alternative health care model shall implement a
24 quality assurance program with measurable benefits and at
25 reasonable cost.
26 (Source: P.A. 91-65, eff. 7-9-99.)
27 (210 ILCS 3/35)
28 Sec. 35. Alternative health care models authorized.
29 Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, alternative
30 health care models described in this Section may be
31 established on a demonstration basis.
32 (1) Alternative health care model; subacute care
33 hospital. A subacute care hospital is a designated site
SB1613 Enrolled -6- LRB9112970JSpc
1 which provides medical specialty care for patients who
2 need a greater intensity or complexity of care than
3 generally provided in a skilled nursing facility but who
4 no longer require acute hospital care. The average length
5 of stay for patients treated in subacute care hospitals
6 shall not be less than 20 days, and for individual
7 patients, the expected length of stay at the time of
8 admission shall not be less than 10 days. Variations
9 from minimum lengths of stay shall be reported to the
10 Department. There shall be no more than 13 subacute care
11 hospitals authorized to operate by the Department.
12 Subacute care includes physician supervision, registered
13 nursing, and physiological monitoring on a continual
14 basis. A subacute care hospital is either a freestanding
15 building or a distinct physical and operational entity
16 within a hospital or nursing home building. A subacute
17 care hospital shall only consist of beds currently
18 existing in licensed hospitals or skilled nursing
19 facilities, except, in the City of Chicago, on a
20 designated site that was licensed as a hospital under the
21 Illinois Hospital Licensing Act within the 10 years
22 immediately before the application for an alternative
23 health care model license. During the period of operation
24 of the demonstration project, the existing licensed beds
25 shall remain licensed as hospital or skilled nursing
26 facility beds as well as being licensed under this Act.
27 In order to handle cases of complications, emergencies,
28 or exigent circumstances, a subacute care hospital shall
29 maintain a contractual relationship, including a transfer
30 agreement, with a general acute care hospital. If a
31 subacute care model is located in a general acute care
32 hospital, it shall utilize all or a portion of the bed
33 capacity of that existing hospital. In no event shall a
34 subacute care hospital use the word "hospital" in its
SB1613 Enrolled -7- LRB9112970JSpc
1 advertising or marketing activities or represent or hold
2 itself out to the public as a general acute care
3 hospital.
4 (2) Alternative health care delivery model;
5 postsurgical recovery care center. A postsurgical
6 recovery care center is a designated site which provides
7 postsurgical recovery care for generally healthy patients
8 undergoing surgical procedures that require overnight
9 nursing care, pain control, or observation that would
10 otherwise be provided in an inpatient setting. A
11 postsurgical recovery care center is either freestanding
12 or a defined unit of an ambulatory surgical treatment
13 center or hospital. No facility, or portion of a
14 facility, may participate in a demonstration program as a
15 postsurgical recovery care center unless the facility has
16 been licensed as an ambulatory surgical treatment center
17 or hospital for at least 2 years before August 20, 1993
18 (the effective date of Public Act 88-441). The maximum
19 length of stay for patients in a postsurgical recovery
20 care center is not to exceed 48 hours unless the treating
21 physician requests an extension of time from the recovery
22 center's medical director on the basis of medical or
23 clinical documentation that an additional care period is
24 required for the recovery of a patient and the medical
25 director approves the extension of time. In no case,
26 however, shall a patient's length of stay in a
27 postsurgical recovery care center be longer than 72
28 hours. If a patient requires an additional care period
29 after the expiration of the 72-hour limit, the patient
30 shall be transferred to an appropriate facility. Reports
31 on variances from the 48-hour limit shall be sent to the
32 Department for its evaluation. The reports shall, before
33 submission to the Department, have removed from them all
34 patient and physician identifiers. In order to handle
SB1613 Enrolled -8- LRB9112970JSpc
1 cases of complications, emergencies, or exigent
2 circumstances, every postsurgical recovery care center as
3 defined in this paragraph shall maintain a contractual
4 relationship, including a transfer agreement, with a
5 general acute care hospital. A postsurgical recovery
6 care center shall be no larger than 20 beds. A
7 postsurgical recovery care center shall be located within
8 15 minutes travel time from the general acute care
9 hospital with which the center maintains a contractual
10 relationship, including a transfer agreement, as required
11 under this paragraph.
12 No postsurgical recovery care center shall
13 discriminate against any patient requiring treatment
14 because of the source of payment for services, including
15 Medicare and Medicaid recipients.
16 The Department shall adopt rules to implement the
17 provisions of Public Act 88-441 concerning postsurgical
18 recovery care centers within 9 months after August 20,
19 1993.
20 (3) Alternative health care delivery model;
21 children's respite care center. A children's respite
22 care center model is a designated site that provides
23 respite for medically frail, technologically dependent,
24 clinically stable children, up to age 18, for a period of
25 one to 14 days. This care is to be provided in a
26 home-like environment that serves no more than 10
27 children at a time. Children's respite care center
28 services must be available through the model to all
29 families, including those whose care is paid for through
30 the Illinois Department of Public Aid or the Illinois
31 Department of Children and Family Services. Each respite
32 care model location shall be a facility physically
33 separate and apart from any other facility licensed by
34 the Department of Public Health under this or any other
SB1613 Enrolled -9- LRB9112970JSpc
1 Act and shall provide, at a minimum, the following
2 services: out-of-home respite care; hospital to home
3 training for families and caregivers; short term
4 transitional care to facilitate placement and training
5 for foster care parents; parent and family support
6 groups.
7 Coverage for the services provided by the Illinois
8 Department of Public Aid under this paragraph (3) is
9 contingent upon federal waiver approval and is provided
10 only to Medicaid eligible clients participating in the
11 home and community based services waiver designated in
12 Section 1915(c) of the Social Security Act for medically
13 frail and technologically dependent children.
14 (4) Alternative health care delivery model;
15 community based residential rehabilitation center. A
16 community-based residential rehabilitation center model
17 is a designated site that provides rehabilitation or
18 support, or both, for persons who have experienced severe
19 brain injury, who are medically stable, and who no longer
20 require acute rehabilitative care or intense medical or
21 nursing services. The average length of stay in a
22 community-based residential rehabilitation center shall
23 not exceed 4 months. As an integral part of the services
24 provided, individuals are housed in a supervised living
25 setting while having immediate access to the community.
26 The residential rehabilitation center authorized by the
27 Department may have more than one residence included
28 under the license. A residence may be no larger than 12
29 beds and shall be located as an integral part of the
30 community. Day treatment or individualized outpatient
31 services shall be provided for persons who reside in
32 their own home. Functional outcome goals shall be
33 established for each individual. Services shall include,
34 but are not limited to, case management, training and
SB1613 Enrolled -10- LRB9112970JSpc
1 assistance with activities of daily living, nursing
2 consultation, traditional therapies (physical,
3 occupational, speech), functional interventions in the
4 residence and community (job placement, shopping,
5 banking, recreation), counseling, self-management
6 strategies, productive activities, and multiple
7 opportunities for skill acquisition and practice
8 throughout the day. The design of individualized program
9 plans shall be consistent with the outcome goals that are
10 established for each resident. The programs provided in
11 this setting shall be accredited by the Commission on
12 Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF). The
13 program shall have been accredited by CARF as a Brain
14 Injury Community-Integrative Program for at least 3
15 years.
16 (5) Alternative health care delivery model;
17 Alzheimer's disease management center. An Alzheimer's
18 disease management center model is a designated site that
19 provides a safe and secure setting for care of persons
20 diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. An Alzheimer's
21 disease management center model shall be a facility
22 separate from any other facility licensed by the
23 Department of Public Health under this or any other Act.
24 An Alzheimer's disease management center shall conduct
25 and document an assessment of each resident every 6
26 months. The assessment shall include an evaluation of
27 daily functioning, cognitive status, other medical
28 conditions, and behavioral problems. An Alzheimer's
29 disease management center shall develop and implement an
30 ongoing treatment plan for each resident. The treatment
31 plan shall have defined goals. The Alzheimer's disease
32 management center shall treat behavioral problems and
33 mood disorders using nonpharmacologic approaches such as
34 environmental modification, task simplification, and
SB1613 Enrolled -11- LRB9112970JSpc
1 other appropriate activities. All staff must have
2 necessary training to care for all stages of Alzheimer's
3 Disease. An Alzheimer's disease management center shall
4 provide education and support for residents and
5 caregivers. The education and support shall include
6 referrals to support organizations for educational
7 materials on community resources, support groups, legal
8 and financial issues, respite care, and future care needs
9 and options. The education and support shall also
10 include a discussion of the resident's need to make
11 advance directives and to identify surrogates for medical
12 and legal decision-making. The provisions of this
13 paragraph establish the minimum level of services that
14 must be provided by an Alzheimer's disease management
15 center. An Alzheimer's disease management center model
16 shall have no more than 100 residents. Nothing in this
17 paragraph (5) shall be construed as prohibiting a person
18 or facility from providing services and care to persons
19 with Alzheimer's disease as otherwise authorized under
20 State law.
