Each community works alongside the Bureau of Health Facility Regulation to develop a stringent list of care options, such as activities of daily living (ADL), medication management and caregiver qualifications to ensure seniors enjoy a healthy and active lifestyle. The Bureau of Health Facility Regulation is also responsible for all regulatory and licensing procedures and approvals for all assisted living facilities in the state and manage all complaint investigations.
