Hello to everyone out there.

Please can somebody enlighten me on what is the difference of rules, regulations, clinical and nursing care of a locked-in memory care unit, in an ALF setting compared to a SNF or long-term care setting. I really want to know the difference as I am going to be managing a memory care in an ALF setting in my new job. All input will be much appreciated.

Thank you and warm regards to all!
Looking forward to all your experienced answers.

ALF regulations vary state by state; most are under state board of health...need to research your state
