Chamber Passed·5/28/26
Introduced Text

Rhode Island S2571 mandates annual inspections for assisted living residences with units for Alzheimer's and dementia patients.

Rhode Island S2571 amends the Assisted Living Residence Licensing Act to require annual inspections of assisted living residences that include units licensed to treat 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 unannounced, on-site inspections and establish regulations for the frequency of inspections, considering factors such as past compliance, complaints, and quality of care.
