1574.5
. (a) All adult day health care centers shall maintain
compliance with licensing requirements. These requirements shall not
prohibit program flexibility for the use of alternate concepts,
methods, procedures, techniques, equipment, number and qualifications
of personnel, or the conducting of pilot projects, if these
alternatives or pilot projects are carried out with provisions for
safe and adequate care and with the prior written approval of the
state department. This approval shall provide for the terms and
conditions under which permission to use an alternative or pilot
program is granted. Particular attention shall be given to encourage
the development of models appropriate to rural areas. The department
may allow the substitution of work experience for academic
requirements for the position of program director, administrator, or
activity coordinator.
(b) The applicant or licensee may submit a written request to the
department for program flexibility, and shall submit with the request
substantiating evidence supporting the request.
(c) Any approval by the department granted under this section, or
a true copy thereof, shall be posted immediately adjacent to the
center's license.
