PURPOSE:

The Department of Elder Affairs, in consultation with the Agency for Health Care Administration, the Department of Children and Families, and the Department of Health, announces the convening of a negotiated rulemaking proceeding addressing assisted living facility regulation. The purpose of the negotiated rulemaking is to draft mutually acceptable proposed rules addressing the safety and quality of services and care provided to residents within assisted living facilities while being mindful of unnecessary increases in regulation given the many variations in services provided, the number of residents or size of the facility, and the makeup of resident populations in the facilities.

SUBJECT:

The subject and scope of the rules to be developed through negotiated rulemaking will address the following areas: Educational Requirements, Training, and Competency Exams for Administrators and Managers; Training for Staff; Core Trainers; Training Accessibility; Data Collection; Medication practices; Emergency management; Licensing and services provided for limited nursing services, limited mental health, and extended congregate care designations; Deletion of duplicative rules; and, Revision of rules as needed based on legislative changes.
