Healthcare Professionals in Assisted Living*


(a) A health care professional may provide services to a resident within the professional's scope of practice; however, the facility must not provide ongoing services to a resident that are comparable to the services available in a nursing facility licensed under Texas Health and Safety Code, Chapter 242.

(b) A resident may contract with a home and community support services agency licensed under Chapter 142 or with an independent health professional to have health care services delivered to the resident at the facility.
