NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT the Department of Elder Affairs has issued an order disposing of the petition for declaratory statement filed by Independent Living Systems, LLC on July 13, 2009. The following is a summary of the agency's disposition of the petition:
The petition sought a determination regarding petitioner’s status as a provider within the Long-Term Care Community Diversion Pilot Project under Section 430.707, Florida Statutes, by virtue of its registration with the Agency for Health Care Administration as a homemaker and companion services organization under Section 400.509, Florida Statutes. The Department determined that homemaker and companion service organizations are not “licensed” by the Agency, and do not satisfy the statutory definition of an “other qualified provider” found in Section 430.703(7), Florida Statutes, for purposes of participation in the Long-Term Care Community Diversion Pilot Project under Section 430.707(1), Florida Statutes.
A copy of the Order Disposing of the Petition for Declaratory Statement may be obtained by contacting: Yolanda Siples, Department of Elder Affairs, 4040 Esplanade Way, Tallahassee, Florida 32399, [phone], email: [e-mail].
