This Act requires that all assisted living facilities that are not subject to CMS regulations maintain accreditation from an independent accrediting organization approved by the Department of Health and Social Services, that assisted living facilities that provide dementia care services maintain a certification for the provision of dementia care services from an approved independent accrediting organization, and that all assisted living facilities must submit proof of accreditation and, if applicable, certification to the Department. This Act also authorizes DHSS to promulgate rules and regulations to carry out these provisions, and it defines dementia care services and secured dementia care unit. Violations of this Act are subject to enforcement actions under Chapter 11 of Title 16 and are a basis for the nonrenewal of a facility’s license. This bill also makes technical corrections to conform existing law to the standards of the Delaware Legislative Drafting Manual.
