You can find the special eligibility rules for Domiciliary Residential Rehabilitation and Treatment (Domiciliary Care) in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR),. Here are the references. Title 38, CFR 17.46, 17.47, and 17.48. They’re available on the Web at either of these sites:

Government Printing Office (Standard Site) http://www.access.gpo.gov/nara/cfr/waisidx_06/38cfr17_06.html

Government Printing Office (Continuously Updated Site) http://ecfr.gpoaccess.gov/cgi/t/text/text-idx?c=ecfr&sid=9dcfd440fc9f4d91d9bc92c8bfa15677&tpl=/ecfrbrowse/Title38/38cfr17_main_02.tpl

In addition, we must find that you’re capable of handling the activities of daily living by yourself and that you’re willing to participate in your own treatment. Here are the issues we must consider in determining whether domiciliary care is right for you.

Even if we decide that our program is not a good “fit” for you, we may be able to help you find some other arrangement that does work.
