US Assisted Living Residence Smoke-Free Regulations: a 50 U.S. Assisted Living Residence Smoke-free Regulations: A 50-State Summary Chart The following chart is a snapshot of the U.S. landscape of state smoke-free regulations in assisted living residences, including adult foster care homes and facilities, as of January 2016.* This information was based on a 50-state (plus Washington, D.C.) survey of current state statutes and administrative rules and regulations pertaining to the use of tobacco products in adult foster care homes and related assisted living residences.† Because states vary in the terms they use for these homes and facilities, efforts were made to include those assisted living residences that most resemble adult foster care – licensed living arrangements that provide mentally or physically impaired, elderly or ailing adults around-the-clock support, including food, lodging, supervision and household services, both in corporate adult foster care facilities and in private residences. Whenever possible, hyperlinks to online resources containing the cited authority are included. * This chart was prepared as part of a research project funded by ClearWay MinnesotaSM, Grant Number RC-2014-0017.

  • Hospice and Assisted Living: Improving Care at the End of Life
    Hospice and Assisted Living: Improving Care at the End of Life Cherry Meier, RN, MSN eniors have embraced the concept of “aging in place.” S The challenge that inevitably occurs is the concept of “dying in place.” Seniors do not want to go through another change in living arrangements and do not want to become a burden on their families at the end of their life. Is it realistic to think that an eld- erly resident may be able to die in an assisted living (AL) residence? Depending upon what state you live in, it may or may not be possi- ble. Some states have very strict move-in and discharge require- ments that prohibit a dying resident from staying in their AL residence because they become bedbound, have a foley catheter, or require oxygen. Such requirements are usu- ally in response to concerns for life and safety in the event that a build- ing needs to be evacuated quickly or that the resident has complex 6 months or less if the illness runs equipment, and medical supplies needs that cannot be met by the AL its normal course and elects to re- related to the terminal illness. staff.

  • Residential Care/Assisted Living Compendium: Pennsylvania
    Compendium of Residential Care and Assisted Living Regulations and Policy: 2015 Edition PENNSYLVANIA Licensure Terms Assisted Living Residence, Personal Care Home General Approach Assisted living residences (ALRs) are licensed by the Department of Aging, Office of Long Term Living, Division of Licensing, and personal care homes are licensed by the Department of Public Welfare, Adult Residential Licensing. The two licensure types differ in concept, the type of units provided, and the level of care provided. Personal care homes may not serve individuals who need a nursing home level of care but ALRs can serve such individuals. ALRs must support aging in place, are constructed with private living units that include kitchen capacity, and provide a level of care higher than personal care homes. A personal care home and ALR may be co-located within a building under a dual license. This profile includes the regulations for both types, as well as the provisions for special care units (SCUs) for residents with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias for the two types. Adult Foster Care. The state licenses domiciliary care for up to three residents, which provides a supervised living arrangement in a home-like setting to adult clients placed there by Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs). The AAAs screen providers to ensure that both they and their homes pass safety and background checks. The majority of providers serve only one resident. Regulatory provisions for domiciliary care are not included in this profile but a link to the provisions can found at the end. This profile includes summaries of selected regulatory provisions for ALRs and personal care homes.

  • Tobacco, E-Cigarettes and Alternative Products
    Tobacco, E-Cigarettes and Alternative Products: Product Guide FOR PEDIATRIC PROVIDERS Although youth use of traditional cigarettes has declined in New York City (NYC), youth have turned to other products, including cigars, smokeless tobacco, and electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes). These products are often flavored (such as with menthol) and almost always contain nicotine. Flavors are concerning because they can mask the harshness of tobacco, appeal to kids, and are often directly marketed to teens and preteens. NICOTINE can change the chemistry of the adolescent brain. It may affect learning ability and worsen memory and concentration. Youth are particularly vulnerable to nicotine dependence, which can occur even with occasional use. Nicotine may also affect the way the adolescent brain processes other drugs, like alcohol, cannabis and cocaine. The following is a list of selected products with their negative health effects to help you better counsel and guide your patients and their families. 2 TOBACCO: Smokeless Tobacco THE FACTS • Smokeless tobacco is not burned or smoked but always contains nicotine.* V It includes tobacco that can be sucked, chewed, spit or swallowed, depending on the product. PRODUCT NAME WHAT IT IS Chewing • Comes in loose leaf, plug or twist form Tobacco V Used by taking a piece and placing it between the cheek and gums; Also Known As may require spitting. Chew Snuff • Comes in moist, dry or packet (snus) form Also Known As V Moist snuff is used by taking a pinch and placing it between the lip Dip or cheek and gums; requires spitting. V Dry snuff is used by putting a pinch of powder in the mouth or by sniffing into the nose.
