Last month, the Board of Health (BoH) approved a rulemaking hearing for the revised Chapter 7 assisted living residence (ALR) licensure rules. The public hearing will be held April 18 at CDPHE. The draft includes several changes for ALRs, including minimum standards for administrators, requirements for CPR, first aid and lift assistance, implementation of the Facility Guideline Institute (FGI) standards for new construction and renovations, revisions to the secure environment section and licensure fee increases.
On Jan. 30 the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy & Financing (HCPF) released FAQs that focus on general requirements of the federal home-and community-based services (HCBS) final settings rule and miscellaneous aspects of its implementation. Part 2 will address employment-related service and lease requirements. Providers are encouraged to review all the FAQs as compliance with the rule is expected by March 2020.
