10-4-9.5. Continuum of care defined--Additional health care.

For the purposes of § 10-4-9.4, the term, continuum of care, means the ability of a licensed health care facility to provide living accommodations to any resident living in a congregate housing facility owned by such health care facility. If the resident requires additional health care services, the health care facility shall have sufficient facilities to permit residents to move into another level of care. This section does not require such health care facility to necessarily offer services normally provided by a hospital.
