The department is considering amending Chapter 388-76 WAC, Adult Family Home Minimum Licensing Requirements, to address a process gap that occurs when residents transfer or discharge from Adult Family Homes and prescription medications for those residents continue to be filled by pharmacies. These filled prescriptions may not be returned to the pharmacy and are subject to diversion and misuse by others. The department may amend other rules as appropriate. These changes will give Adult Family Home providers clear requirements to address the transition or disposal of resident medications when residents transfer or discharge from the Adult Family Home. It will also help prevent disruption or delay of resident medications when they transition to a new location.
The status of this rulemaking project is in progress.

- Chapter 388-76, Adult Family Home Minimum Licensing Requirements
