Senior living residents are protected by numerous state requirements. For example, assisted living is regulated by every state in the country, and the exact regulations and licensure requirements vary from state to state. State regulations are consumer-based and seek to maximize independence and choice.
State regulations generally address the mandatory services a senior living residence must provide. Mandatory services in an assisted living residence generally include assistance with activities of daily living (help with dressing, eating, etc.), meals, housekeeping, and resident assessments. Many states’ regulations also include language about resolving resident grievances. The regulations may require a residence to develop a policy for addressing resident grievances or they may require the grievance process be disclosed as part of the lease or residency agreement.
