“Effective January 1, 2023, The Joint Commission approved 4 new and 14 revised requirements for the Assisted Living Community (ALC) accreditation program. The updates span multiple chapters and address infection control, dementia care, staffing, staff wellness, and resident well-being. The changes to the requirements reflect current scientific evidence and evidence-based practices in assisted living, including lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic, and align with recommendations and practice guidelines from the Alzheimer’s Association and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.”
The New and Revised Requirements for AL Communities (prepublication), issued June 20, 2022, can be viewed here. This is an 8-page document.
