AI Summary

  • Creates a new category of "continuing care at-home" contracts allowing providers to offer future access to nursing care or personal services to residents living outside the facility upon payment of an entrance fee.

  • Requires persons offering continuing care at-home contracts to obtain a certificate of authority from the Office of Insurance Regulation and comply with the same minimum reservation and escrow requirements as traditional continuing care contracts.

  • Establishes separate requirements for continuing care at-home including disclosure provisions about transportation, provider liability limitations, resident monitoring mechanisms, and relocation policies.

  • Allows an actuarial study to be substituted for a feasibility study when expanding continuing care at-home contracts, and reduces the escrow requirement for continuing care at-home expansion entrance fees from 75 percent to 50 percent.

  • Limits the combined number of outstanding continuing care and continuing care at-home contracts based on the facility's physical units, requiring a minimum of 10 percent independent living units for the initial 100 contracts and 5 percent for contracts exceeding 100.
