The purpose of this chapter is to provide for the development, establishment, and enforcement of standards for the maintenance and operation of assisted living facilities, which, in the light of advancing knowledge, will promote safe and adequate care of the individuals therein. It is further the intent of the legislature that assisted living facilities be available to meet the needs of those for whom they care by recognizing the capabilities of individuals to direct their self-medication or to use supervised self-medication techniques when ordered and approved by a physician licensed under chapter 18.57 or 18.71 RCW or a podiatric physician and surgeon licensed under chapter 18.22 RCW.

The legislature finds that many residents of community-based long-term care facilities are vulnerable and their health and well-being are dependent on their caregivers. The quality, skills, and knowledge of their caregivers are often the key to good care. The legislature finds that the need for well-trained caregivers is growing as the state's population ages and residents' needs increase. The legislature intends that current training standards be enhanced.

A Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) is a residential community for adults that offers a range of housing options (normally independent living through nursing home care) and varying levels of medical and personal care services. A CCRC is designed to meet a resident’s needs in a familiar setting as he/she grows older. People most often move into such a community when they’re healthy.

A CCRC is designed to meet a resident’s needs in a familiar setting as he/she grows older. People most often move into such a community when they’re healthy.
A CCRC resident has to sign a long-term contract that provides for housing, personal care, housekeeping, yard care and nursing care. This contract typically involves either an entry fee or buy-in fee in addition to monthly service charges, which may change according to the medical or personal care services required. Fees vary depending on whether the person owns or rents the living space, its size and location, the type of service plan chosen, and the current risk for needing intensive long-term care. Because the contracts are lifelong and fees vary, it is important to get financial and legal advice before signing.

I interviewed the people behind The Hogeweyk dementia village. I am interested in this design as it does not have to be just for people with dementia. It is a universal design to make everybody's life better, and could be used for people with disabilities. If we decide to use them, it would eliminate the need to try and design our one community. It is based on outdoor spaces with a micro business for hairstyle stores and a movie theater built within the community. It is built around 6-7 people living in a separate cottage. It is constructed to facilitate everybody to function, such as no checkerboards floors, natural lighting, glass doors on cabinets.
When you watch this video replace dementia with people with special needs. The Hogeweyk
I interviewed Frank van Dillen of Holland from DVA Dementia Village Associates. They designed the building for Hogeweky in the Netherlands and other locations around the world. They integrate hardware and software design to build communities for people with dementia and could be used for people with disabilities a well. By software we mean the mission, vision and values of the operator, the business concept, the operational processes and the organization. By hardware we mean the urban planning and the physical design of the facility and how sustainable the facility must be. This means that the functional program integrates the software and hardware.
They are a consulting firm that helps nonprofits and for profits build villages for people with dementia, but the idea can be used for any population.
They have an Our Roadmap© established process to help.
PHASE 1: Business Creation PHASE 2: Business Assessment PHASE 3: Business Planning PHASE 4: Prototyping PHASE 5: Testing & Optimizing
These guys have been doing this a long time. There is a cost associated with the help, but they are well established, and they should have clout to help us. It may be in our interest once we get our tax exemption to go after grants to pay for services such as this. Why reinvent the wheel.
DVA-We Believe… One cannot isolate the living environment for vulnerable people from society. In our belief the whole world is a socially inclusive living environment and we are all inhabitants thereof. All comes down to designing and developing a universal environment not exclusive to people with physical or mental limitations but for all of us. Living, working, recreation and social inclusion is paramount.
