The Washington D.C. Assisted Living Services Policy Manual provides a comprehensive operational framework for agencies delivering assisted living services to older adults and individuals with disabilities throughout the District of Columbia. This manual is developed in accordance with the regulations of the D.C. Department of Health (DOH), Department on Aging and Community Living (DACL), and the D.C. Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) Elderly and Persons with Physical Disabilities (EPD) Waiver. It aligns with federal requirements established by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Older Americans Act, ensuring the delivery of high-quality, person-centered care within residential assisted living settings.
This manual outlines policies and procedures covering facility licensing and certification, resident eligibility and assessments, person-centered care planning, service coordination, staff training and credentialing, resident rights and protections, incident management and emergency preparedness, medication administration, record keeping and billing, and ongoing quality assurance. The focus is on delivering safe, supportive, and community-integrated residential services that promote autonomy, dignity, and wellness for each resident.
The Washington D.C. Assisted Living Services Policy Manual serves as a foundational resource for assisted living providers to ensure compliance with state and federal laws, foster continuous quality improvement, and uphold best practices in long-term residential care. It is designed to guide providers in offering compassionate, respectful, and responsive care that empowers residents to age in place and thrive in inclusive, supportive environments.
