California Nursing Home Administrator License Practice Exam

What must a new applicant submit before obtaining an assisted living license?

1. comprehensive emergency management plan

2. environmental control plan

3. proposal for reimbursement for generators

4. list of residents needing emergency shelter

The correct answer is: environmental control plan

In order to obtain an assisted living license, a new applicant is required to submit an environmental control plan. This plan is essential because it demonstrates how the facility will maintain a safe and healthful environment for residents. An environmental control plan typically outlines aspects such as sanitation, safety protocols, maintenance of the physical environment, and measures to protect residents from hazards. The submission of a comprehensive emergency management plan and the proposal for reimbursement for generators, while important for the overall operation of an assisted living facility, are not specifically required at the initial licensing stage. Similarly, while having a list of residents needing emergency shelter is critical in emergency preparedness, it does not serve as a requirement for obtaining a license. These components may be part of a more comprehensive operations plan but are not the primary documentation needed to secure the assisted living license itself.
