Summary
Modifies the requirements for investigations of a residential care facility following a complaint of a licensing violation. Prohibits exceptions to statutory licensing requirements for residential care facilities. Requires a residential care facility to notify a resident's designated contact person of a substantiated licensing violation or abuse finding or of the facility's placement in the enhanced oversight and supervision program. Requires an applicant for a license to operate a residential care facility, if the applicant does not have experience in the operation or management of a residential care facility, to contract with an experienced consultant or management company. Adds new requirements for obtaining a license to operate a residential facility or an adult foster home. Requires the Department of Human Services and the Oregon Health Authority to inspect residential facilities and adult foster homes under certain conditions. Permits the department to extend the duration of an adult foster home license to two years if the department determines that the home has been in substantial compliance for three consecutive years.
