Why Every New RCFE/ARF Administrator Should Start With Our Membership
Picture this: you’re a newly minted California residential care facility administrator. Your facility just opened, the paint freshly dried, and you have your first residents. Life is good, life is easy—or is it? Here’s the thing about running an assisted living facility: keeping it in compliance is both of the utmost importance, and incredibly difficult to do without guidance.
This is part of the reason we created our Diamond and Platinum tier Community Care Options Memberships. We wanted to make the entire administrator process as painless as possible. Read on to learn why our memberships are beneficial.
Misinterpreting Title-22 Can Lead to Deficiencies
Title-22 is a massive set of California state laws that apply to all community care facilities regulated by CCLD (Community Care Licensing Division). RCFEs and ARFs are mandated by Title-22 regulations. It can be hard to keep track of everything your facility needs to stay in compliance.
Without assisted living compliance help, your facility can quickly rack up citations and fines. The organization of your facility crumbles in chaos, you may have to shut your doors and, ultimately, your residents suffer for it.
💡EXPERT TIP: We highly recommend that every new administrator starts with a residential care facility membership, like our Diamond or Platinum tier membership.
A residential care facility membership can help new administrators identify non-compliance areas before Licensing can issue a citation. This means that you save time, money, and can focus on your residents. Not convinced? See what else you might miss without assisted living compliance help.
Documentation Requirements
The documentation requirements for an assisted living facility, especially an RCFE, are complex, especially so for first-time administrators. Just some of the documentation required are as follows:
Plan of Operation
Infection Control Plan
Emergency Disaster Plan
Workplace Violence Prevention Plan
Dementia Care Program
Admission Agreement
Staffing Requirements
Resident Bill of Rights
Reporting Requirements
Etc.
Many of these documents need to be updated regularly.
We would also like to note that Staff Training Requirements are also part of this. You do not need to be a member to gain access to our Staff Training. If you’re an RCFE administrator, we recommend checking out the RCFE Staff Training Requirements you must adhere to, as it can all become very overwhelming very quickly.
Helps with Day-To-Day Operations
Having assisted living compliance help directly impacts how efficiently and accurately you run your facility. With this membership, you will have access to all the forms you need at a moment's notice, organized to suit your facility’s needs.
It takes a lot to keep a facility running smoothly on a daily basis. Compliance with CCLD means a higher standard of care, which directly translates to happier and healthier residents. And that’s what we want: thriving residents.
Community Care Options offers an exclusive membership for assisted living administrators. Each tier builds on the one prior, but all three have a unifying goal: to make things easier for you and your residents.
