sponsored residential finances

We must add “must have at all time the financial resources utilizing the forms of acceptable financial resources outlined above in paragraph two to cover their expenses for 90 days independent of payments received for residents living in the home.” If this is not added a licensing specialist could interpret this to mean the only acceptable resource for a sponsored home is 90 days of cash in a separate account.
Remove “In order to meet regulatory requirements, these resources must be kept in separate accounts from which personal daily operating expenses are withdrawn or from which payments received for residents living in the home are deposited.” This is not asked of any other service line that we are aware of and this is not outlined anywhere in regulations for sponsored services. This puts an additional burden on the sponsor.
