AI Summary
This bill amends the Illinois Public Aid Code concerning supportive living facilities, which are designated settings that integrate housing with health, personal care, and supportive services. Specifically, it mandates that supportive living dementia care settings cannot restrict residents' access to in-room sinks, microwaves, or refrigerators if a safety assessment deems their use safe, with such assessments required before move-in and quarterly thereafter. The bill also requires social and recreational programs to be offered at least three times daily, with one session separate from meal times. For newly built supportive living dementia care settings, it sets minimum apartment sizes of 300 square feet for single occupancy and 450 square feet for double occupancy, including closets and bathrooms, and requires each apartment to have a sink, microwave, and refrigerator. Furthermore, new facilities must provide a common area distinct from the dining area.
