Applicants applying at a later time for additional sheltered nursing home beds without increasing the number of residential units shall restrict the use of the additional sheltered beds to continuing care residents. Applicants who are adding additional residential units shall be allowed to apply for additional sheltered nursing home beds not exceeding a ratio of one nursing home bed per four residential units.
