DOH Regulatory Changes Published for Public Comment

As was previously reported, the Department of Health (DOH) filed emergency regulations on May 25, 2018 regarding the admission and retention standards for all adult care facilities (ACFs) as a result of a lawsuit filed by the Fair Housing Justice Center. The regulatory promulgation process requires DOH to republish the regulations for public comment, which will be accepted until early November. Members are encouraged to provide us with any comments they would like us to include in our comment. Click here for more information about the regulatory changes. LeadingAge NY has submitted several questions about the regulatory changes to DOH and is awaiting their answers.
