Licensure Term Assisted Living Facilities

Definition An assisted living facility is a residential care institution that provides or contracts to provide supervisory care services,
personal care services, or directed care services on a continuing
Basis.

Opening Statement Regulations have been in effect since November 1998. The licensure category consolidates the previous six licensure categories for residential care institutions into a universal assisted living license. This license is sub-classified based on size and level of services provided. All facilities are required to
comply with resident rights, food service requirements,
administration requirements, abuse reporting, and resident
agreements. Training requirements vary depending upon level
of care. Physical plant requirements vary depending upon size.

Facility Scope of Care Facilities may provide personal care services, including assistance with activities of daily living, that can be performed by persons without professional skills or professional training.

Facilities may also provide or coordinate intermittent nursing services and the administration of medications and treatment
by a licensed nurse.
