General Information
Action Summary This regulatory action is a joint action to repeal the existing regulation for licensed assisted living facilities, 22VAC40-72, and adopt a new regulation, 22VAC40-73 to replace it. The new regulation is to be a comprehensive revision of the existing standards. A comprehensive revision is needed to provide greater protection for adults in care, improve the organization of the standards, increase clarity and consistency, and eliminate unnecessarily burdensome or intrusive requirements. The goals of the new regulation are to better meet the needs of an increasingly vulnerable population of residents who are aged, infirm or disabled and to do so in a cost effective manner.
