DOH Re-Issues Transitional Adult Home Regulations Regarding Meeting Space

The Department of Health (DOH) has re-issued emergency regulations requiring Transitional Adult Homes (TAHs) to provide space for residents to meet privately with staff, visitors, or other service providers. The regulations require that the meeting space meet certain criteria such as being a minimum of 160 square feet, above grade level, offering privacy, and being separate and distinct from an occupied or reserved resident room. The TAH is required to submit a plan explaining how the space requirements will be met within 30 days of the Department’s request.
