DOH Provides Checklists for Use When Proposing Substitution for ALR Residency Agreement

On June 10, 2022, the Department of Health (DOH) issued Dear Administrator letter (DAL) #22-28 announcing the model Residency Agreement and addenda for assisted living residences (ALRs). DOH issued this subsequent DAL (DAL: DACF-22-28-A1, dated Nov. 23, 2022) to enable applicants for new ALR licensure and existing ALRs to propose a substitute Residency Agreement. Two checklists are provided to assist with compliance, as applicable to the ALR’s base license:

• Adult Home Assisted Living Residence Residency Agreement Checklist
• Enriched Housing Program Assisted Living Residence Residency Agreement Checklist

Members are encouraged to review the DAL, which provides more information and details.
