New Laws for California and Nevada Affecting Residential Care Facilities

In our ongoing effort to inform you of changes that will affect your daily business operations we have listed helpful bills and upcoming laws for the new year.

Events listed below for Group Homes and Assisted Living

     
 

New California RCFE Laws 2008

New Nevada Laws 2008

 

September 2008

California Assembly Bill 749 was signed into law on September 28, 2008 and requires all Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly (RCFE) to have an emergency plan that includes the ability to be self-reliant for at least 72 hour following any emergency or disaster.  The plan must be completed by March 1, 2009 and it will be reviewed by Community Care Licensing during comprehensive visits.

*** ATTENTION: AGENCIES TO PROVIDE PERSONAL CARE SERVICES IN THE HOME ***

Effective January 30, 2008, you must apply for a license from the Bureau of Licensure and Certification. If you were on our mailing list, we have mailed you a packet containing these items, which you may also download here.

You must be in statutory and regulatory compliance before we can issue you a license. Please be sure that you read and understand the Criminal History Background Check requirements that apply to your agency.

The Bureau of Health Care Quality and Compliance (formerly Licensure and Certification (BLC)) protects the safety and welfare of the public through the promotion and advocacy of quality health care through licensing, regulation enforcement, and education. This mission is accomplished through the Bureau’s two sections: Licensure and Certification (Health Facilities and Medical Laboratories) and Radiological Health.
