Who is responsible for ensuring compliance with CILA Rule 115?

The responsibility for ensuring compliance with CILA Rule 115 falls on the CILA provider and the licensed administrator. This is because CILA providers are tasked with meeting the regulatory requirements set forth by the state to maintain quality services and ensure the health and safety of the residents. The licensed administrator is specifically accountable for the overall operation of the facility, including compliance with laws, rules, policies, and procedures.

This aligns with the objective of CILA Rule 115, which is to provide guidelines for the care and support of residents in community integrated living arrangements. The CILA provider and the licensed administrator work together to create an environment that adheres to these regulations, ensuring that all necessary protocols are followed to enhance the quality of life for residents and maintain standards of care.

While local governments, residents, families, and healthcare professionals play important roles in the care and support ecosystem, their responsibilities do not encompass the direct compliance obligations under CILA; those are specifically assigned to the CILA provider and the licensed administrator, making their role crucial in safeguarding the regulatory standards.
