(1) Any individual who seeks payment for providing care to an elderly person or to an adult with a mental illness, developmental disability, or physical disability and who also houses the said vulnerable adult in his primary residence shall meet the requirements of this chapter or other provision of law governing care and housing for the elderly or for adults with mental illness, developmental disabilities, or physical disabilities if those provisions are more restrictive.
(2) The following are exempt from the requirements of this chapter:
(a) Arrangements for care to a vulnerable adult who does not live in his own home but lives in the primary residence of his relative, when payments for the vulnerable adult’s care to that relative is wholly privately funded and no portion is from a publicly funded program.
(b) Medical foster homes if the home provides care only to veterans who are not medicaid recipients and who are approved by the department of veterans affairs to receive care in the home. Medical foster homes that provide care to nonveterans as well as veterans shall not be exempt from the certification requirements of this chapter.
