These rules and regulations constitute the basis for the licensure of Level II assisted living facilities by the Arkansas Department of Human Services, Division of Medical Services, Office of Long-Term Care. The Office of Long-Term Care reserves the right, and may at any time, waive any or all of the requirements herein in event of emergency or for good cause shown in the sole determination of the Office of Long-Term Care.
The purpose of these rules and regulations is to establish standards for Level II assisted living facilities that provide services in a homelike environment for elderly and disabled persons. Level II assisted living facilities ensure that residents receive supportive health and social services as they are needed to enable them to maintain their individuality, privacy, dignity, and independence, in the highest degree possible in an apartment-style living unit. The assisted living environment actively encourages and supports these values through effective methods of service delivery and facility or program operation. The environment promotes resident self- direction and personal decision-making while protecting resident’s health and safety.
