7 (305 ILCS 5/5-5.01a)
8 Sec. 5-5.01a. Supportive living facilities demonstration
9 project. For the purpose of studying alternative settings
10 for long term care, the Department may establish and provide
11 oversight for a demonstration project to determine the
12 viability of supportive living facilities that seek to
13 promote resident independence, dignity, respect, and
14 well-being in the most cost-effective manner.

16 facility or a distinct physical and operational entity within
17 a nursing facility. A supportive living facility integrates
18 housing with health, personal care, and supportive services
19 and is a designated setting that offers residents their own
20 separate, private, and distinct living units.
21 Demonstration sites shall be selected by the Department
22 based upon criteria that may include the need for services in
23 a geographic area, the availability of funding, and the
24 site's ability to meet the standards.
25 The Department may adopt rules to implement this Section.
26 Rules that establish or modify the services, standards, and
27 conditions for participation in the demonstration project
28 shall be adopted by the Department in consultation with the
29 Department on Aging, the Department of Rehabilitation
30 Services, and the Department of Mental Health and
31 Developmental Disabilities (or their successor agencies).
