Orientation to Assisted Living is the required first step for anyone providing or supervising direct services in a Minnesota assisted living facility. Under Minnesota Statutes section 144G.63, every staff person must complete an orientation to assisted living licensing requirements and regulations BEFORE providing assisted living services to residents. This lesson delivers that orientation in plain, practical language and gives you the documentation to prove it. The lesson walks through every orientation topic the law requires: an overview of Chapter 144G, the facility's own policies and procedures, handling emergencies and using emergency services, reporting maltreatment of vulnerable adults to the Minnesota Adult Abuse Reporting Center (MAARC), the Assisted Living Bill of Rights, person-centered planning and service delivery, handling and routing complaints, the Office of Ombudsman for Long-Term Care and other advocacy services, and the specific services and license category of your facility. Orientation is completed once per staff person and is not transferable to another facility, except between facilities operated by the same licensee. The facility must keep evidence of completion in your employee record. Everything in this lesson reflects current Minnesota law in Chapter 144G as published by the Office of the Revisor of Statutes.
