Question juridique clé
Whether the X institution qualifies as a home for supplementary benefits purposes under federal law
Solution extraite
The cantonal court had not sufficiently examined whether the resident’s stay met a need and whether the institution provided adequate organization, infrastructure, and staff; the matter had to be reconsidered.
Motifs extraits
A refusal by cantonal authorities to grant an operating authorization does not automatically exclude recognition as a home under federal PC law. The lower court relied too heavily on the cantonal licensing refusal and made incomplete factual findings.
