Bill > HB1899

This bill amends Tennessee law regarding homes for the aged, which are facilities providing domiciliary care, room, board, and personal services to elderly individuals. Specifically, it redefines the criteria for classifying these homes into two tiers: a "tier 1 home for the aged" will now be defined as a home housing five or fewer nonrelated individuals, an increase from the previous limit of three, and a "tier 2 home for the aged" will be defined as a home housing six or more nonrelated individuals, an increase from the previous limit of four. These changes aim to adjust the regulatory framework for smaller residential care facilities for the elderly.
