Urgent: Compliance with New Memory Care Legislation Pending ADHS Finalization

As of the Governor’s Regulatory Review Council (“GRRC”) meeting on January 29, 2025, the draft rules concerning memory care and enhanced penalties for assisted living facilities have been approved. However, it's important to note that the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) has not yet released the required training programs or official policies and procedures necessary for compliance with these new regulations.

Without these finalized materials, developing or implementing the mandated changes is impossible. The Arizona Assisted Living Homes Association (AALHA) is actively preparing to submit a request to offer approved Memory Care training. We will promptly share updates and provide appropriate compliance information with our members as soon as ADHS releases the necessary materials.

Please be assured that once sufficient information becomes available, AALHA will take immediate action to support our members in achieving compliance. We encourage all licensed care home owners to review the approved draft rules carefully and to inform AALHA via email at info@aalha.org of any concerns that may arise during ADHS inspections following the effective date of July 1, 2025.

Additionally, Amy McIlroy, President of AALHA, will continue to meet with Tiffany Slater from ADHS to discuss updates and clarifications regarding the implementation of the new memory care training requirements. We are committed to passing on information to our members immediately. Once ADHS finalizes the memory care training programs and makes applications available, AALHA will apply and bring the training to our members.
