Assisted Living regulation report.

The National Center for Assisted Living (NCAL) has released its 2004 edition of the Assisted Living State Regulatory Review. The 157-page report summarizes assisted living regulations across 19 categories in the 50 states and the District of Columbia. The report, which is available free of charge, also includes phone, e-mail, and Internet contact information for each state agency that oversees assisted living regulation.

In this edition, a new category describes state requirements for resident assessments, including the online location of standardized forms, if available. Other topics include licensure term, scope of care, move-in/move-out criteria, Medicaid waiver policy, and requirements for medication management, physical plant, staff training, and disclosure items.
