The Bureau of Quality Assurance’s (BQA) Assisted Living Section (AL) has experienced a growth in the number of assisted living facilities throughout the state. Currently, there are over 2,400 assisted living facilities including: Adult Day Care (ADC) facilities, Adult Family Homes (AFHs), Community Based Residential Facilities (CBRFs), and Residential Care Apartment Complexes (RCACs).

To meet the demands of the increasing number of assisted living facilities with varied locations throughout the state, a change in the workload distribution is necessary and will occur on June 1, 2004. This change in workload assignments only affects assisted living facilities licensed/certified by the Bureau of Quality Assurance and does not alter other Department of Health and Family Services regional assignments. Following are the new workload assignments (distribution of counties under each BQA regional office):
