The bill amends Section 23-17.4-10 of the General Laws under the "Assisted Living Residence Licensing Act" to enhance the regulatory framework for assisted living residences. It mandates that the licensing agency conduct unannounced, on-site inspections biennially for all licensed residences and annually for those providing services to residents with Alzheimer's disease or other dementias. The inspections for dementia care units must encompass the entire residence, not just the specialized units. This act is designed to promote safety and adequate living conditions for individuals in assisted living facilities and will take effect upon passage.
