Member Call Scheduled for ACF/AL HCBS Final Rule Compliance Assessment
(Dec. 30, 2024) LeadingAge NY has scheduled a call for all adult care facility (ACF)/assisted living (AL) members on Jan. 2nd at 10:30 a.m. to have “office hours” regarding the Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) Final Rule Compliance Assessment Drupal survey. Click here to register. During the call, a very brief background on the initiative will be provided, and then the meeting will be opened up for members to ask questions and share insights. Rather than a presentation, this call will be an open dialogue. It is hoped that members will benefit from discussing any confusing or challenging aspects of the survey and learn from how others might have addressed it.
Important Reminders
Click here for background on the HCBS Final Rule Compliance Assessment survey, including access to a recording of the Department of Health (DOH) webinar. Members are reminded that every ACF/AL provider must complete the survey; however, those who do not have residents with active Medicaid will answer only the first question and then submit.
Members are reminded that on Dec. 16th, DOH updated the link to the Drupal survey given that there were upload requests in the survey that should not have been there. Members should use this link moving forward. Remember that you are not able to save your work in the survey and return to it at another time. Thus, you are advised to use this PDF copy of the survey to compile the necessary documentation and then clear room in your schedule to complete the full survey.
DOH clarified that the due dates are:
- Jan. 7, 2025 by close of business for assisted living programs (ALPs).
- Jan. 16, 2025 by close of business for all other ACF/AL providers.
Conclusion
Please be sure to register for the member call, taking place on Jan. 2nd, if you plan to participate!
