Criteria for increasing licensed bed capacity.
Before the licensed bed capacity in an assisted living facility may be increased, the assisted living facility must:
(1) Obtain construction review services' review and approval of the additional rooms or beds, and related auxiliary spaces, if the rooms were not previously reviewed and approved for the physical plant requirements at time of construction; and
(2) Ensure that each additional licensed bed or "stand-by" bed meets the assisted living licensing requirements under this chapter and chapter 388-110 WAC, when applicable.
(3) Before approving any increase in licensed bed capacity, the department will determine the facility's maximum facility capacity to ensure that any increase is consistent with this chapter and chapter 388-110 WAC, when applicable.
