What’s happening: In a memo issued on November 6, 2024, DSS announced revisions to the Standards for Licensed Assisted Living Facilities (ALFs) to add being authorized to temporarily practice pursuant to § 54.1-2408.4 of the Code of Virginia as a qualification option for administrators of facilities licensed for both residential and assisted living care.

• The memo includes the regulation replacement page of the standards.

The memo details the requirements for an ALF administrator to be eligible for a temporary, 90-day practice period provided that the ALF administrator is contracted by or has received an offer of employment in Virginia and certain other conditions are met.
