22VAC40-73-70. Incident Reports - Each facility shall report to the regional licensing office within 24 hours any major incident that has negatively affected or that threatens the life, health, safety, or welfare of any resident.

• Over the years, we have received numerous concerns from ALFs about the varying interpretations of licensing inspectors on what is a “major incident.” The previous Standards were accompanied with Technical Assistance to clearly identify major incidents, which was helpful to ALFs.
