Dear Virtual Learning Users:
This learning update is intended to advise Adult Foster Care (AFC) providers of a new addition to the Administrator Competency Class, Section 3-K, which addresses the issuance of temporary Michigan AFC licenses. This section clarifies the circumstances under which a temporary license may be approved for an alternate home when a currently licensed setting is deemed unsuitable for resident placement.
R 400.620 Special license.
Rule 620. (1) A special license may be issued in accordance with section 18 of the act, MCL 400.718, if there is an instance where adult foster care residents of another licensed facility have been displaced due to fire, tornado, flood, or other disaster. The department may issue a special license for a period of up to 1 year while the resident’s original home is being restored.
(2) The special license must comply with all administrative
rules determined to be quality-of-care rules in accordance with section 6 of the act, MCL 400.706.
(3) The department may issue a special license when there are physical plant deficiencies if those deficiencies do not create an immediate risk to the residents, and the residents, a designated representative of a resident, and the responsible agency are made aware of the physical plant deficiencies.
Let’s face it a furnace could go, vandalism could occur or other problems making the currently licensed AFC Home unsuitable for a time, or perhaps remodeling is occurring that brings noise and dust. Learn more at www.afcprelicensingclass.com.
