462.352, subdivision 2, may not adopt an ordinance after May 22,

if the ordinance would have the effect of prohibiting replacing
a home in a park with a home approved by the department of
housing and urban development manufactured to the manufactured
home building code as defined in Minnesota Statutes, section

violation of section 609.66, subdivision 1e, creates a
presumption that the device vehicle was used in the violation.

Sec. 23. [CORRECTION 12; STATUTORY REFERENCE.] Minnesota
Statutes 1992, section 256B.0913, subdivision 5, as amended by
1993 S.F. No. 1496, article 5, section 63, is amended to read:
Subd. 5. [SERVICES COVERED UNDER ALTERNATIVE CARE.] (a)
Alternative care funding may be used for payment of costs of:
(1) adult foster care;
(2) adult day care;
(3) home health aide;
(4) homemaker services;
(5) personal care;
(6) case management;
(7) respite care;
(8) assisted living;
(9) residential care services;
(10) care-related supplies and equipment;
(11) meals delivered to the home;
(12) transportation;
(13) skilled nursing;
(14) chore services;
(15) companion services;
(16) nutrition services; and
(17) training for direct informal caregivers.
(b) The county agency must ensure that the funds are used
only to supplement and not supplant services available through
other public assistance or services programs. (c) Unless
specified in statute, the service standards for alternative care
services shall be the same as the service standards defined in
the elderly waiver. Persons or agencies must be employed by or
under a contract with the county agency or the public health
nursing agency of the local board of health in order to receive
funding under the alternative care program.
(d) The adult foster care rate shall be considered a
difficulty of care payment and shall not include room and
board. The adult foster care daily rate shall be negotiated
between the county agency and the foster care provider. The
rate established under this section shall not exceed 75 percent
of the state average monthly nursing home payment for the case
mix classification to which the individual receiving foster care
is assigned, and it must allow for other alternative care
services to be authorized by the case manager.
(e) Personal care services may be provided by a personal
care provider organization. A county agency may contract with a
relative of the client to provide personal care services, but
must ensure nursing supervision. Covered personal care services
defined in section 256B.0627, subdivision 4, must meet
applicable standards in Minnesota Rules, part 9505.0335.
(f) Costs for supplies and equipment that exceed $150 per
item per month must have prior approval from the commissioner.
A county may use alternative care funds to purchase supplies and
equipment from a non-Medicaid certified vendor if the cost for
the items is less than that of a Medicaid vendor.
(g) For purposes of this section, residential care services
are services which are provided to individuals living in
residential care homes. Residential care homes are currently
licensed as board and lodging establishments and are registered
with the department of health as providing special services.
Residential care services are defined as "supportive services"
and "health-related services." "Supportive services" means the
provision of up to 24-hour supervision and oversight.
Supportive services includes: (1) transportation, when provided
by the residential care center only; (2) socialization, when
socialization is part of the plan of care, has specific goals
and outcomes established, and is not diversional or recreational
in nature; (3) assisting clients in setting up meetings and
appointments; (4) assisting clients in setting up medical and
social services; (5) providing assistance with personal laundry,
such as carrying the client's laundry to the laundry room.
Assistance with personal laundry does not include any laundry,
such as bed linen, that is included in the room and board rate.
Health-related services are limited to minimal assistance with
dressing, grooming, and bathing and providing reminders to
residents to take medications that are self-administered or
providing storage for medications, if requested. Individuals
receiving residential care services cannot receive both personal
care services and residential care services.
(h) For the purposes of this section, "assisted living"
refers to supportive services provided by a single vendor to
clients who reside in the same apartment building of three or
more units. Assisted living services are defined as up to
24-hour supervision, and oversight, supportive services as
defined in clause (1), individualized home care aide tasks as
defined in clause (2), and individualized home management tasks
as defined in clause (3) provided to residents of a residential
center living in their units or apartments with a full kitchen
and bathroom. A full kitchen includes a stove, oven,
refrigerator, food preparation counter space, and a kitchen
utensil storage compartment. Assisted living services must be
provided by the management of the residential center or by
providers under contract with the management or with the county.
(1) Supportive services include:
(i) socialization, when socialization is part of the plan
of care, has specific goals and outcomes established, and is not
diversional or recreational in nature;
(ii) assisting clients in setting up meetings and
appointments; and
(iii) providing transportation, when provided by the
residential center only.
Individuals receiving assisted living services will not
receive both assisted living services and homemaking or personal
care services. Individualized means services are chosen and
designed specifically for each resident's needs, rather than
provided or offered to all residents regardless of their
illnesses, disabilities, or physical conditions.
(2) Home care aide tasks means:
(i) preparing modified diets, such as diabetic or low
sodium diets;
(ii) reminding residents to take regularly scheduled
medications or to perform exercises;
(iii) household chores in the presence of technically
sophisticated medical equipment or episodes of acute illness or
infectious disease;
(iv) household chores when the resident's care requires the
prevention of exposure to infectious disease or containment of
infectious disease; and
(v) assisting with dressing, oral hygiene, hair care,
grooming, and bathing, if the resident is ambulatory, and if the
resident has no serious acute illness or infectious disease.
Oral hygiene means care of teeth, gums, and oral prosthetic
devices.
(3) Home management tasks means:
(i) housekeeping;
(ii) laundry;
(iii) preparation of regular snacks and meals; and
(iv) shopping.
A person's eligibility to reside in the building must not
be contingent on the person's acceptance or use of the assisted
living services. Assisted living services as defined in this
section shall not be authorized in boarding and lodging
establishments licensed according to sections 157.01 to 157.031.
Reimbursement for assisted living services and residential
care services shall be made by the lead agency to the vendor as
a monthly rate negotiated with the county agency. The rate
shall not exceed the nonfederal share of the greater of either
the statewide or any of the geographic groups' weighted average
monthly medical assistance nursing facility payment rate of the
case mix resident class to which the 180-day eligible client
would be assigned under Minnesota Rules, parts 9549.0050 to
9549.0059, except for alternative care assisted living projects
established under chapter Laws 1988, chapter 689, article 2,
section 256, whose rates may not exceed 65 percent of either the
statewide or any of the geographic groups' weighted average
monthly medical assistance nursing facility payment rate of the
case mix resident class to which the 180-day eligible client
would be assigned under Minnesota Rules, parts 9549.0050 to
9549.0059. The rate may not cover rent and direct food costs.
(i) For purposes of this section, companion services are
defined as nonmedical care, supervision and oversight, provided
to a functionally impaired adult. Companions may assist the
individual with such tasks as meal preparation, laundry and
shopping, but do not perform these activities as discrete
services. The provision of companion services does not entail
hands-on medical care. Providers may also perform light
housekeeping tasks which are incidental to the care and
supervision of the recipient. This service must be approved by
the case manager as part of the care plan. Companion services
must be provided by individuals or nonprofit organizations who
are under contract with the local agency to provide the
service. Any person related to the waiver recipient by blood,
marriage or adoption cannot be reimbursed under this service.
Persons providing companion services will be monitored by the
case manager.
(j) For purposes of this section, training for direct
informal caregivers is defined as a classroom or home course of
instruction which may include: transfer and lifting skills,
nutrition, personal and physical cares, home safety in a home
environment, stress reduction and management, behavioral
management, long-term care decision making, care coordination
and family dynamics. The training is provided to an informal
unpaid caregiver of a 180-day eligible client which enables the
caregiver to deliver care in a home setting with high levels of
quality. The training must be approved by the case manager as
part of the individual care plan. Individuals, agencies, and
educational facilities which provide caregiver training and
education will be monitored by the case manager.
