About this file
The document is a Procurement File Memorandum from the Arizona Department of Economic Security (ADES), specifically the Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD), dated April 3, 2023. The memorandum is addressed to David Steuber, Chief Procurement Officer, and prepared by Nicole Marquez, Procurement Specialist. The document involves the Arizona Department of Economic Security and eleven (11) current Assisted Living Facility (ALF) vendors, with oversight from the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS).
The memorandum addresses Assisted Living Facility Services for DDD members, focusing on residential care for individuals unable to live independently but not requiring nursing facility care. DDD has determined it will not transition ALF services to the Qualified Vendor Agreement (QVA) home and community-based service (HCBS). Instead, the department seeks to extend current contracts with existing ALF vendors through April 30, 2025, while allowing new contractors to provide ALF services. Each ALF placement requires approval from the ADES/DDD Director and must have a valid Arizona Department of Health license. The facilities are categorized as Assisted Living Centers (serving 11 or more members) and Assisted Living Homes (serving 10 or fewer members), with services defined under Arizona Administrative Code Title 9, Chapter 10, Article 8.

PROCUREMENT FILE MEMORANDUM
DATE: April 3, 2023
TO: David Steuber, Chief Procurement Officer
FROM: Nicole Marquez, Procurement Specialist
SUBJECT: Assisted Living Facility Services (Centers and Homes)
The Arizona Department of Economic Security, Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD) provides continuous residential care services to eligible DDD members to assure a safe and healthy living environment that meets the physical needs of the members. Assisted Living Centers and Homes are residential care facilities licensed by Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) to provide supervisory care, personal care, or direct care services as defined in the Arizona Administrative Code (A.A.C.), Title 9, Chapter 10, Article 8. These settings are designed for members who are unable to live in their own home, but do not need nursing facility care. An Assisted Living Center serves eleven (11) or more members and an Assisted Living Home serves ten (10) or less members.
The DDD has determined it will not be transitioning the Assisted Living Facility (ALF) services from direct contracts to the Qualified Vendor Agreement (QVA) home and community-based service (HCBS), pursuant to A.R.S. § 36-2939(A)(2). The DDD will continue to follow the Medical Policy Manual Chapter 1200 Services and Settings, 1230-A Assisted Living Facilities procedure for placement in the Alternative Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) setting. Each Assisted Living placement shall be approved by the ADES/DDD Director. Each contracted setting shall require a valid Arizona Department of Health license. All Indian Health Services (IHS), Indian Tribal Administrations, or Urban Indian Organizations shall meet all applicable standards for state licensures regardless of any agreements in place that waive the requirement to follow the procurement practices of the State of Arizona.
The DDD currently contracts with eleven (11) ALF vendors, and. It is in the best interest of the State to allow the DDD to extend the contracts through April 30,2025 and allow for new contractors to contract with ADES to provide ALF services.
