3722.021 Determining number of residents in facility for purpose of licensure.

In determining the number of residents in a facility for the purpose of licensure under this chapter, the director of health shall consider all the individuals for whom the facility provides accommodations as one group unless either of the following is the case:

(A) In addition to being an adult care facility, the facility is a nursing home licensed under Chapter 3721. of the Revised Code , a residential facility licensed under that chapter, or both.

In that case, all the individuals in the part or unit licensed as a nursing home, residential care facility, or both, shall be considered as one group and all the individuals in the part or unit licensed as an adult care facility shall be considered as another group.

(B) The facility maintains, in addition to an adult care facility, a separate and discrete part or unit that provides accommodations to individuals who do not receive supervision or personal care services from the adult care facility, in which case the individuals in the separate and discrete part or unit shall not be considered in determining the number of residents in the adult care facility if the separate and discrete part or unit is in compliance with the Ohio basic building code established by the board of building standards under Chapters 3781. and 3791. of the Revised Code and the adult care facility, to the extent of its authority, permits the director, on request, to inspect the separate and discrete part or unit and speak with the individuals residing there, if they consent, to determine whether the separate and discrete part or unit meets the requirements of this division.
