| Purpose/Objective of Rule |
The Division is requesting the Board of Health adopt revisions to 6 CCR 1011-1, Chapter 7 –
Assisted Living Residences. These revisions were developed in collaboration with stakeholders
over a nine-month stakeholder process before being reviewed and recommended for
presentation to the Board of Health by the statutory Assisted Living Advisory Committee, and
are primarily focused on the implementation of Senate Bill (SB) 22-154. The bill, concerning
increasing safety in assisted living residences (ALRs), modifies statutory requirements
regarding administrator qualifications, requires a fine be assessed when an ALR is found to be
without a qualified administrator or interim administrator, adds notification and
grievance/appeal procedures related to involuntary discharge of a resident, requires civil
fines be assessed for violations resulting in harm, and increases the dollar limits on fines as an
enforcement tool. SB 22-154 also includes specific language reaffirming that ALRs are
required to obtain checks of the Colorado Adult Protective Services (CAPS) data system for
administrators and staff, as has been required through general licensing rules and statutes
applicable to all licensed facilities since 2020. It also added statutory definitions of “local
ombudsman” and “state long-term care ombudsman”. |
