  • Certification Overview


  • Certification Procedures

    The Executive Office of Elder Affairs (Elder Affairs) recommends that new applicants for assisted living certification submit an application with all the necessary supporting documents at least 60 days prior to the anticipated date of opening. This will provide Elder Affairs sufficient time to review the application and complete the certification process before the residence is open for occupancy.
