(1) Ensure that both the physical environment and the delivery of assisted living services are designed to enhance autonomy in ways which reflect personal and social values of dignity, privacy, independence, individuality, choice and decision making of residents. The contractor must provide resident services in a homelike environment for residents who may have a range of needs and preferences.

(2) Must provide or arrange for, at no additional cost to the resident and consistent with chapter 388-78A WAC:

(3) Make available and offer at no additional cost to the resident generic personal care items needed by the resident such as soap, shampoo, toilet paper, toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, sanitary napkins, and disposable razors. This does not include items covered by medical coupons or preclude residents from choosing to purchase their own personal care items.

(4) Provide all residents with access to an on-site washing machine and dryer for resident use.

(5) Make beverages and snacks available to residents.
