Calling All ACF and AL Members!

LeadingAge New York will host its annual Adult Care Facility (ACF), Assisted Living Program (ALP) and Assisted Living Residence (ALR) Advocacy Day in Albany on Tues., April 23. We will be meeting with key lawmakers and staff in the Legislature and Department of Health to address the following agenda items:

• Providing DOH with recommendations to update and streamline regulations as well as proactive solutions to improve the survey and CON/application processes;
• Advancing our proposal to allow nurses to perform certain functions in ACF and AL settings;
• Ensuring that prior year’s funds for ACFs are finally distributed;
• Urging for the implementation of last year’s ALP reforms as well as new reforms to the ALP to best position it for a managed care environment; and
• Encouraging the passage of proposed legislation that requires and provides for ACFs to get reimbursed for conducting criminal history record checks.

Meeting materials and other information will be made available on the ACF/AL Advocacy Day website, soon. To register, click here.
