If an applicant for licensure under the Residential Care Act has
not been previously licensed, or if a home is not in operation at
the time application is made, the State Department of Health shall
issue a probationary license. A probationary license shall be valid
for one hundred twenty (120) days unless sooner suspended or revoked
pursuant to the provisions of the Residential Care Act.
1. Prior to the issuance of a probationary license, the
Department shall:
a. ascertain whether the applicant is qualified to be
licensed pursuant to the provisions of Section 1-822
of this title, and
b. inspect the home and inform the applicant of any
conditions which require correction prior to the
issuance of a license. If the home is a new home, the
Department shall also inform the applicant of any
condition which requires correction prior to the
acceptance of residents into the home. If the home is
an existing home whose ownership is being transferred,
the probationary license issued to the transferee, in
addition to any corrections required as a result of
the inspection, shall be subject to any plan of
correction submitted by the previous owner and
approved by the Department.
2. Within thirty (30) days prior to the termination of a
probationary license, the Department shall completely inspect the
home and, if the home meets the applicable rules for licensure,
shall issue a license pursuant to the provisions of the Residential
Care Act and rules promulgated pursuant thereto. If at the end of
an extension of the probationary license, the home is not in
substantial compliance with the provisions of the Residential Care
Act and the rules promulgated pursuant thereto, the license shall be
denied and the Department shall take such action as necessary and as
authorized pursuant to the provisions of the Residential Care Act
for the protection of the health, safety, and welfare of the
residents of the home.
