Rhode Island H7624 mandates annual inspections of assisted living residences with units for Alzheimer's and dementia care.

Rhode Island H7624 amends the Assisted Living Residence Licensing Act to require annual inspections of assisted living residences that include units for treating residents with Alzheimer's disease and other dementias. These inspections must cover the entire residence, not just the special care units. The licensing agency will conduct at least 10% of inspections annually, with the frequency determined by past compliance, complaint investigations, quality of care, and license type. Additionally, biennial unannounced inspections will be conducted.
