Supportive living facilities would cover residents' basic hygiene supplies

Supportive living facilities would provide residents with basic hygiene products and include them in the monthly rate. The products include everyday hygiene items, health related skin care, and basic bedding supplies. Incontinence supplies are included when medically or functionally indicated.

A supportive living facility could provide meals, and the Department could set a minimum daily meal spending amount that adjusts each year for inflation. This applies to supportive living facilities and meals for their residents. Providing meals depends on an appropriation. Meals must be nutritious, meet residents' needs, and be enough to maintain overall health. Yearly adjustments would begin on the January 1 after the amendatory act takes effect.
