Assisted Living and Adult Day Care Centers: Standards of Practice Resources

Standards of practice help make sure residents receive the best care. There are many standards to consider. This page contains several resources to help understand these standards.

COVID-19 guidance, recommendations, and resources

Assisted living facilities (ALFs) care for residents who are elderly, who may also have chronic medical conditions that place them at higher risk of developing severe complications from COVID-19. ALFs typically provide some form of health care to their residents. This can range from passing medication to assistance with activities of daily living and more. ALFs should follow the CDC COVID-19 infection control guidance (opens external link) when providing health care to residents in order to improve their infection prevention and control practices and prevent the transmission of COVID-19.
