Increasing the number of allowed residents in a home plus facility from 12 to 16.

HB 2520 would increase the maximum number of residents allowed in "home plus" facilities from 12 to 16. This directly affects home plus facilities - residential care settings for adults needing personal care or limited nursing support - and their current residents. The bill amends Kansas law to change the occupancy cap in the definition of "home plus" while requiring facilities serving over eight residents to adjust staffing to maintain care standards. The change applies to facilities operating under the adult care home licensing system.
