 Chapter 388-78A. Assisted living facility licensing rules.

  Section 388-78A-3100. Safe storage of supplies and equipment.  

Latest version.
  • The assisted living facility must secure potentially hazardous supplies and equipment commensurate with the assessed needs of residents and their functional and cognitive abilities. In determining what supplies and equipment may be accessible to residents, the assisted living facility must consider at a minimum:
    (1) The residents' characteristics and needs;
    (2) The degree of hazardousness or toxicity posed by the supplies or equipment;
    (3) Whether or not the supplies and equipment are commonly found in a private home, such as hand soap or laundry detergent; and
    (4) How residents with special needs are individually protected without unnecessary restrictions on the general population.
