Overview
This bill updates Alaska’s definitions of various healthcare facilities under state law. Specifically, it adds ‘complex care residential homes’ to the list of facilities subject to regulation by the Department of Health, defining this new category as a residential setting providing 24-hour, multi-disciplinary care to individuals with complex medical, behavioral, or disability-related needs. The bill also clarifies the definition of ‘assisted living home’ and updates the definition of ‘hospital’ to exclude complex care residential homes. Finally, it mandates that the Department of Health submit plan amendments or waiver applications to implement these changes for federal approval.
