Assisted Living Accreditation Services and Distinctions

Services

ALC

An assisted living community is a senior living residence that provides services for individuals who need assistance with activities of daily living and personal care. Its purpose is to help adults live independently in a safe, homelike environment. Levels of available care vary widely , and state licensing often determines the tiers of medical care that can be provided. Care plans for residents are created, overseen, and regularly reviewed by licensed nursing personnel, in accordance with state regulations. Some level of security, personal care, and nursing staff is available around the clock, but the main focus of assisted living is to provide supervision and support of personal care, not skilled care. Assisted Living Community Accreditation confirms compliance with standards of care, safety protocols, and applicable laws, rules, and regulations.

LSC

The Life Safety Code, published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), is widely used to develop fire safety strategies at facilities. For assisted living communities, Life Safety Code Accreditation focuses on compliance with applicable environmental and fire safety requirements. The accreditation survey confirms adherence to accepted safety practices and includes testing and maintenance of fire safety systems and devices.

MC

The Memory Care Unit is a self-contained care unit within an assisted living community. Residents stay in the unit for most care, activities, and meals. This allows for more flexibility, permitting the residents to follow their individual schedules rather than that of staff. Memory Care Unit Accreditation verifies an assisted living community’s adherence to accepted care practices and compliance with safety protocols and applicable laws, rules, and regulations.

Distinctions

ALO

The Distinction in Assisted Living Outcomes (ALO) focuses on collecting and analyzing data across a range of predetermined domains to evaluate the quality of care and guide continuous quality improvement. Measurement-based care highlights strengths and weaknesses of current practices and provides evidence of goal achievement. Data are used in aggregate to establish benchmarks, which identify opportunities to improve processes, services, and operations for better overall care and outcomes. This distinction must be achieved in combination with ACHC Assisted Living Accreditation.
