Residential facilities: bedridden persons.
Summary
Under existing law, bedridden persons may be admitted to, and remain in, a community care facility, residential care facility for persons with chronic life-threatening illness, or a residential care facility for the elderly if the facility secures and maintains an appropriate fire clearance. Existing law defines "nonambulatory persons" for purpose of inspections by the State Fire Marshal. This bill would, for the purpose of fire clearance of these facilities, include within the definition of "nonambulatory person" a resident who is unable to independently transfer to and from bed but who does not need assistance turning and repositioning in bed.
