OSHA Compliance, Environmental Safety, and Disaster Planning for the Assisted Living Community Karen T. Stratoti

Assisted living facilities are largely governed by individual state regulations, many of which do not mandate quality assurance checks. Without oversight in these area, ALFs are left with few resources to ensure quality and lack the monitoring necessary to continually improve in areas of resident/employee safety and satisfaction through disaster planning, OSHA compliance, and environmental safety.

This handbook provides an all-inclusive guide for the assisted living community to achieve compliance in the above topics. Through case studies, regulation breakdowns, and tools such as checklists and training activities, our book will increase quality assurance, customer satisfaction, and resident/employee safety in ALFs.
