CCL Update
For ARF - Good News!
Beginning August 30, 2009, the new ARF Age Regulations allow an ARF to both retain
and admit a person 60 years of age or older without obtaining an exception, subject to census limitations. The regulations also specify other provisions related to the care of persons 60 years of age or older in ARFs. Prior to August 30, 2009, an ARF could retain clients over 59 years of age, subject to census limitations; however, an ARF always had to obtain an exception in order to admit such a client.

More bad news -
But only for the non-compliant
CCL may now assess an immediate civil penalty of $150 per day, per
violation until correction is made for the following violations:
a. Fire clearance violations including, but not limited to, overcapacity,
ambulatory status, inoperable smoke alarms, and inoperable fire alarm
systems with certain exceptions
b. Absence of supervision;
c. Accessible bodies of water;
d. Accessible firearms or ammunition;
e. Refused entry of an agent of the CDSS to a facility; and
f. The presence of an excluded person on the premises.
The message here is to stay in compliance.

consultants, contact us. We will help you develop an internal quality plan - another one of those Community Training Connection WIN-WINs.
