NEW! Assisted Living Licensure Implementation Tools

Posted on March 10, 2021 by Bobbie Guidry

In preparation for licensure of Minnesota’s assisted living settings on Aug. 1, LeadingAge Minnesota has prepared several new tools to help you prepare for implementation.

Assisted living settings will be required to apply for licensure by June 1. Although the rules have not yet been finalized and legislative discussions continue, it is important to prepare for your setting’s application for licensure and for implementation. To aid you in your efforts, we have launched tools and checklists to help you as you prepare for licensure:

• Implementing Assisted Living Licensure
• Uniform Assessment Checklist
• Assisted Living Contract Content Checklist
• Assisted Living Required Policies and Procedures
• Resident Record Checklist
• Employee Record Checklist

Licensure of assisted living settings under Minnesota Statutes, chapter 144G was passed by the 2019 Minnesota Legislature. The law establishes regulatory standards governing the provision of housing and services in assisted living facilities and assisted living facilities with dementia care to help ensure the health, safety, well-being, and appropriate treatment of residents.

Additional information about assisted living licensure is available on LeadingAgeMN.org and more tools are under development. They will be added to the website as soon as they are available. If you have questions about assisted living licensure or would like to request specific tools, contact Bobbie Guidry.
