603. In addition to the operating conditions set out in this subdivision and those prescribed under the second paragraph, the conditions for operating a private seniors’ residence are, for each category of residences, determined by a regulation of Santé Québec, which must specify, among others, the following elements:

(1)  the health and social criteria with which the authorization holder must comply, including the minimum number of persons required to be present at all times in a residence to ensure proper supervision there;

(2)  the conditions that the staff members and volunteers of such a residence and any other person working within the residence must meet, depending on their duties, in particular with respect to training required and to security conditions, except as regards judicial records, in addition to the information and documents those persons must provide to the authorization holder to enable the holder to verify whether those conditions have been met;

(3)  the tools and procedures to be used to assess the autonomy of the elderly persons who reside or wish to reside in a private seniors’ residence;

(4)  the obligation, for an authorization holder offering for lease a determined number of rooms or dwellings within a private seniors’ residence, to establish a residence life committee, and the functions and composition of such a committee;

(5)  the authorization holder’s obligation to enter into an agreement with Santé Québec concerning the provision of certain services to residents of the region concerned and setting out the obligations of the parties in that respect, as well as the minimum content of such an agreement; and

(6)  the authorization holder’s obligation to communicate information to Santé Québec.

A government regulation determines the entries that must be absent from the judicial record of the persons referred to in subparagraph 2 of the first paragraph who work within a private seniors’ residence, and the information and documents the persons must provide to the authorization holder to enable the holder to verify whether those conditions have been met.

A regulation made under this section may specify the cases where one of its provisions does not apply to the authorization holder. A regulation made under the first paragraph may also specify the cases where one of the provisions of this subdivision does not apply to such a holder. Where applicable, the regulation may determine the conditions applicable to such cases.
