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.
R 400.620(1): A special license for residents displaced by fire, tornado, flood or other disaster, up to 1 year. Furnace failure, vandalism and remodeling are not named; physical plant deficiencies fall under R 400.620(3). This rule is not a training rule.
(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.
