- Authorizes providers holding a certificate of authority and written commissioner approval to offer continuing care at home and continuing care arrangements in which residents purchase a "resident owned living unit" as part of the continuing care agreement
- Defines "resident owned living unit" as a residence or apartment within a facility where the resident holds an individual real property ownership interest, with the purchase or sale excluded from the entrance fee calculation
