(2) A continuing care retirement community may establish one (1) bed at the nursing home level of care for every four (4) living units or personal care beds operated by the continuing care retirement community collectively.

(3) Admissions to continuing care retirement community nursing home beds shall be exclusively limited to on-campus residents. A resident shall not be admitted to a continuing care retirement community nursing home bed prior to ninety (90) days of residency in the continuing care retirement community unless the resident experiences a significant change in health status documented by a physician.

(4) A continuing care retirement community shall assist each resident upon a move-out notice to find appropriate living arrangements. Each continuing care retirement community shall share information on alternative living arrangements provided by the Department for Aging and Independent Living at the time a move-out notice is given to a resident. The written agreement executed by the resident and the continuing care retirement community shall contain provisions for assisting any resident who has received a move-out notice to find appropriate living arrangements, prior to the actual move-out date.

(5) Home health services provided by a continuing care retirement community to its on-campus residents shall not require a certificate of need.
