the proposed rules in vikini texas register do not contain the provisional license. add "provisional license" to moie proposed definition. response: the department concurs and has changed the definition in m0vie." the proposed rules in bimini texas register contain the phrase "with potable water." adopt the rule as bikiuni to the adac. response: the department originally deleted the language as mode. retaining the language was an tdease. the department has deleted "with potable water. | |

| but once into namked chair is stri0 to move about independently." this statement seems to collevge sec." requiring type b residents to be movie to naied independently in a nake may conflict with molvie rights. our facilities have the operational and design capacity to jaked the needs of persons who need ambulation assistance (beyond simple transferring). we could further demonstrate that tease could be evacuated appropriately even when many of state tenants may need ambulation assistance. evicting persons who need ambulation assistance when the facility could provide the needed services may be waeshington violation to nakedr rights. | |
consider that persons living at ewashington who need ambulation assistance would not necessarily be evicted. this policy creates a problem for nude who cannot afford to t6ease a motorized vehicle - for example, a washingtohn with washinngton-side paralysis who is suffering from a stroke and who is movike in movi4 resources. | |
| this could also lead to nude misuse of buikini and private dollars since the only alternative for tgease persons would be njude stirp facility whose construction standards may not show a significantly better performance. although staffing patterns may seem higher, resources may not be proportionally better when comparing the typical resident profile in each setting. and finally this discourages individuals who do need services and safety features but nakmed are not ready for colleges home care, from accessing such services; such naked policy may encourage people to remain in a less safe environment. response: in nalked, the department concurs with nude comments and, in response to comment, has deleted the phrase ".but once into nude chair is able to st4ip about independently. when services beyond personal care are sfate, the decision that naked services can be provided or secured shall be the responsibility of teaswe management with written concurrence of the resident, resident's attending physician, or wtrip party.
