50-11-03.7. Adult foster care providers - Temporary assistants - Permitted use of electronic device for monitoring.

An adult foster care provider may:

1. Employ a temporary assistant as needed to assist with private-pay adult residents that have physical limitations that require more than one provider to properly assist.

2. Use an electronic device for monitoring an otherwise unattended adult resident within a limited range, which allows the provider to remain nearby while ensuring the safety of the resident. Before implementing an electronic device for monitoring, the use of the device must be approved in writing by the resident or, if the resident is incapacitated, a family member or legal representative of the resident.
