(7) Even though the assisted living facility may disclose that it can provide certain care or services to residents or prospective residents or residents' representative, if any, the assisted living facility may deny admission to a prospective resident when the assisted living facility determines that the needs of the prospective resident cannot be met, as long as the assisted living facility operates in compliance with state and federal law, including reasonable accommodation requirements and RCW 70.129.030(3).
