📌 Welcome & Compliance in All 50 States!
Welcome to Senior Care Blueprint! 🎉
Let’s start with one of the most critical topics for any senior care business: compliance. Whether you’re running assisted living, home care, or NEMT services, staying compliant is non-negotiable — and it varies by state.
1️⃣ Licensing & Regulatory Bodies
- Every state has its own licensing requirements for assisted living, home care, and NEMT providers.
- Common agencies include state health departments, social services, and transportation authorities (for NEMT).
2️⃣ Core Compliance Areas Across All States
- Client Intake & Admissions: Documentation and eligibility verification
- Staffing & Training: Background checks, certifications, ongoing education
- Record-Keeping & Reporting: Incident reports, medical logs, and audits
- Privacy & HIPAA: Protecting client data is universal
3️⃣ Key Takeaway
Even though each state has different laws, the principles are the same: protect your clients, train your team, document everything, and stay ahead of inspections.
💡 Tip: Create a state-specific compliance binder — one for assisted living, one for home care, one for NEMT. Check off each state requirement as you grow.
