2007 BH "Dear Provider" Letters

Proposed amendments to include due process rights
Dear Boarding Home Provider:
The department is initiating the rule-making process to amend chapter 388-78A Washington Administrative Code (WAC) Boarding Home Licensing Rules. The amendments will add sections to the chapter to clarify the due process rights of persons investigated for alleged abuse, neglect, exploitation and financial exploitation of a boarding home resident and other related sections. In addition, other sections of the rule may be amended as necessary.
The department has filed the enclosed “CR-101” with the Code Reviser to begin this process. Stakeholder input and feed back will be obtained through the Boarding Home Advisory Board and other represented groups.
The department anticipates that a CR-102 will be filed in late September 2007. At that time, proposed language will be shared with stakeholders and stakeholders will have another opportunity to provide input.
If you have any questions or comments, contact Todd Henry at (360) 725-2580 or henryte@dshs.wa.gov.
Thank you for your continued commitment to the long-term care residents of our state.
Sincerely,
Joyce Pashley Stockwell, Director
Residential Care Services
