DHS 122.05(1)(b)2.b.b. The countywide occupancy rate as reported in the most recently available annual survey of nursing homes is greater than 94%. The countywide occupancy rate is calculated by dividing the sum of all patient days for all nursing homes exclusive of FDDs in a county, as reported in the annual survey of nursing homes, by the number of days in the calendar year and then dividing that result by the total current number of licensed nursing home beds in that county, exclusive of FDDs, as reported by the department’s bureau of quality compliance. DHS 122.05(1)(b)3.a.a. The department shall review the methodology under subds. 1. and 2. every 3 years in consultation with the area agencies on aging, the county social service or human service departments and representatives of the nursing home industry. DHS 122.05(1)(b)3.b.b. The department shall annually update data necessary to establish a priority list of counties for the purpose of allocating beds. The department may revise the priority list between annual updates to reflect changes in bed capacity resulting from approvals under this chapter, reductions in the capacity of existing nursing homes, facility closures, or relocations of beds or facilities within a planning area. DHS 122.05(1)(c)1.1. The department may distribute nursing home beds, exclusive of FDD beds, made available in the state as a result of facility closure or bed capacity reductions which were not closed under a medical assistance waiver, as specified in 42 CFR 1396n, and which were not replaced by CBRF beds converting to nursing home licensure. Except as provided in s. 150.40, Stats., applications to replace or redistribute closed beds may be submitted only from counties which are eligible to compete for new beds under par. (b). DHS 122.05(1)(c)2.2. Except as provided in s. 150.40, Stats., the department shall redistribute beds under this paragraph to the planning area in which they were originally located. DHS 122.05(1)(c)3.3. The statewide average of nursing home beds for each 1,000 persons 65 years of age or over referred to in s. 150.40, Stats., is calculated by dividing the total current number of licensed nursing home beds, exclusive of FDD beds, in the state, as reported by the department’s bureau of quality compliance, by the total current estimated population of persons 65 years of age and older, as determined by the Wisconsin department of administration, and multiplying that result by 1,000. DHS 122.05(1)(c)4.4. The department may not approve more beds for redistribution within a planning area, or within a county if s. 150.40, Stats., is applicable, than were made available as a result of facility closure or bed reduction in that planning area or county. DHS 122.05(2)(a)(a) The department shall not approve the addition of new beds to a state center for the developmentally disabled or other FDD licensed under subch. I of ch. 50, Stats., unless the beds are needed to serve persons who cannot adequately be served in an existing FDD, another nursing home or in a less costly or less restrictive setting. Need for the beds shall be determined by the department through an objective analysis of the developmentally disabled population in the planning area. DHS 122.05(2)(b)(b) The number of new beds allocated to the centers and other FDDs in an FDD planning area shall not exceed the number of persons requiring FDD care as determined under par. (a) for that planning area. DHS 122.05 HistoryHistory: Cr. Register, March, 1985, No. 351, eff. 4-1-85; emerg. cr. (2) (c), eff. 1-1-87; r. and recr.

After amendment of the statewide bed limit by the legislature, the department shall accept applications to fill the allotments for new beds, if any, for each planning area. Allotments shall be determined in the manner described in s. DHS 122.05. Application shall be made according to the following schedule: DHS 122.06(1)(a)2.2. The department shall request applications for new beds once from each planning area during the first half of each biennium. If the number of new beds approved for an area is less than the planning area’s adjusted allotment, a second request for applications may be made during the second half of the biennium according to the schedule in par. (a). DHS 122.06(1)(b)(b) Replacement beds. The department shall annually accept applications to replace beds in a planning area which have been de-licensed but which were not closed under a medical assistance waiver or which were not replaced by CBRF beds which converted to nursing home licensure in order to retain medical assistance certification. Application shall be made according to the schedule in par. (a). DHS 122.06(1)(c)1.1. Applications that meet all applicable review criteria but do not receive approval due to bed limits imposed under s. DHS 122.04 (1) (b) 2. a. shall be automatically accepted for review under any subsequent request for applications without additional application fee unless the application has been substantially modified. DHS 122.06(1)(c)2.2. The department shall request applications at least once between January 1, 1988 and December 31, 1989. DHS 122.06(1)(c)3.3. Upon application to the department, the department may approve the operation of a distinct part of a nursing home as an FDD for a period of time not to exceed 4 years. Renewal of an approval initially granted under this subsection may be granted for a period of time not to exceed 4 years and only if all of the following conditions are met by the applicant: DHS 122.06(1)(c)3.b.b. There is continued need, as determined by the department, for the FDD in the health planning area in which the facility is located; and DHS 122.06(1)(c)3.c.c. Community-based services, including services developed under s. 46.278, Stats., are inappropriate for the individuals served in the FDD. DHS 122.06(1)(c)4.4. The department may require that a nursing home seeking approval or an FDD seeking renewal under subd. 3. agree to reduce the size of the FDD under a plan submitted by the facility and approved by the department, during the approval or renewal period, in order to reflect reduced service need or increased availability of community-based long-term care services. DHS 122.06(1)(c)6.6. Notwithstanding s. 150.29, Stats., if initial approval of an FDD is not renewed under subd. 3. or if approval or renewal is conditioned upon the requirement of subd. 4., reconversion of these beds to nursing home beds does not require approval under s. DHS 122.04. DHS 122.06(1)(d)1.1. An application may be submitted only in response to a request by the department for applications. DHS 122.06(1)(d)2.2. The department may accept an application only if the proposed converted facility is presently located or will be located in a county designated in accordance with s. DHS 122.05 (1) (b) 2. or s. 150.40, Stats., and that county is located within the same health planning area in which the facility is presently located. DHS 122.06(2)(2) Other applications. Any person intending to engage in activities subject to this subchapter that are not specified under sub. (1), (3) or (3m) shall notify the department in writing of this intent at least 30 days prior to submitting an application for review. An application expires unless the department declares the application complete within 365 days after the date the department receives notice of the applicant’s intent to engage in the activity. DHS 122.06(3)(3) Centers. After a change in the statewide bed limit, the department shall solicit applications from the state centers for the developmentally disabled to increase bed capacity. The schedule for submitting applications shall be determined by the department. DHS 122.06(3m)(3m) Pilot projects. The department may at any time solicit applications from nursing homes which seek to demonstrate new nursing home designs. The schedule for submitting applications shall be determined by the department. DHS 122.06(4)(4) Process for applications for beds, applications from centers and applications for pilot projects. DHS 122.06(4)(a)(a) Notice requesting applications. A notice requesting applications for beds under sub. (1), applications from centers under sub. (3) and applications for pilot projects under sub.
