“Assisting” with Assisted Living Licensed Facilities and Accountability

Session Description
Attendees will learn the background behind Assisted Living Facilities licensing from Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) staff. MDH staff will discuss the legislative changes and some of the challenges that were created during the transition.

Members of the MSFCA Legislative Committee have been collaborating with MDH staff to provide Fire Chiefs with the resources and correct routes to ensure facilities in your jurisdiction are accountable and providing good care to the residents.

Objectives include knowledge of the license, identifying facilities in your area facility requirements, fire code requirements, reporting neglect, reporting concerns, reporting abuse, and compliance outcomes.
