Who Needs To Abide By Regulations? All Troubled Assisted Living Facilities Need To Do Is Re-Organize In Order To Avoid Compliance With Safety Laws
As we’ve discussed on several occasions, there has been a noticeable trend by senior care facilities to re-organize themselves into different entities in order to avoid regulations applicable to the particular facility.
For example, nursing homes are subject to an extensive list of federal and state regulations regarding the type and method of care provided to patients. Assisted living facilities on the other hand are primarily controlled by each state. Other types of care facilities such as group homes and independent living facilities remain fairly unregulated for the most part.
While the regulations help ensure safety of patients, they can make it more difficult for facilities to operate—particularly if they are not following the rules.
