Assisted Living Forum

The Assisted Living Forum is facilitated by the Division of Quality Assurance, Bureau of Assisted Living and meets bi-monthly. Stakeholders involved in assisted living gather in a collaborative spirit to discuss current issues in the regulated assisted living environment.

Entities in assisted living include Community Based Residential Facilities (CBRF), 3-4 bed Adult Family Homes (AFH) and Residential Care Apartment Complexes (RCAC). Stakeholders may include Department regulators, Department program Bureaus, provider associations, advocates, providers, assisted living business partners, Managed Care Organizations and county representatives.

Forum topics may include interpretation of regulations, public funding issues, best practices, quality improvement, workforce issues, statistics and trends, local and national issues and public policy. The morning session is a general meeting for all three provider groups and runs from 10:00 a.m. until 11:45. There is a 45 minute break for lunch. The CBRF, RCAC and AFH breakout sessions run from 12:30 until 2:00.

Stakeholders may submit suggestions for issues to be discussed during an Assisted Living Forum by using the online Assisted Living Forum Issues Submission Survey.

We encourage you to provide an e-mail address or telephone number on the submission form so that we may respond to any issues/questions submitted that may be more appropriately answered on an individual basis rather than as a topic for the AL Forum.
