10 CCR 2505-10-8.610 - FACILITY BASED ADULT DAY HABILITATION SERVICES AND SUPPORTS
The physical facilities where Adult Day Habilitation Services and Supports are provided to individuals receiving comprehensive or supported living services shall meet all applicable fire, building, licensing and health regulations.
A. The physical
facilities over which the service agency exercises control shall also meet the
following requirements:
1. The physical
facilities shall be inspected by the local fire authority prior to occupancy
and at least once every three years thereafter. The local fire authority shall
be informed of the purpose of the facility and potential mobility or ambulation
needs of individuals served. If the purpose of the facility changes and impacts
the individuals to be served in that facility, then the service agency shall be
responsible for informing the local fire authority to determine if another
inspection is required.
2. The
service agency shall conduct fire drills at least quarterly at each physical
facility.
3. All physical
facilities shall have smoke detectors and fire extinguishers.
4. All physical facilities shall have
first-aid supplies available.
5.
All program approved service agencies shall comply with the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA) with regard to physical facilities.
B. If the service agency provides services in
the community to persons who may visit the offices of the service agency (or
another service operated facility), but the persons receive services at such
location(s) for less than one hour per visit, requirements of section 8.610.A.1
-4 do not apply. The service agency shall, however, ensure that the facility
complies with the ADA and contains no hazards which could jeopardize the health
or safety of persons visiting the site.
C. For physical facilities used as community
integrated sites over which the service agency exercises little or no control,
the program approved service agency shall:
1.
Conduct an on-site visit to ensure that there is no recognizable safety or
health hazards which could jeopardize the health or safety of
individuals;
2. Address any safety
or health hazards which could jeopardize the health or safety of individuals
with the owner/operator of the physical facility.
D. Each program approved service agency shall
have written plans to address emergencies which occur during service hours
regardless of service location or type of program.
