Public Hearing Scheduled for Home for the Aged Administrative Rule Changes

On November 6, 2025, at 1:30 p.m. the Michigan Department of Regulatory Affairs will hold a public hearing to receive comments on the proposed changes to the Home for the Aged rule set. The proposed rules modify requirements for communicable disease screening to comport with today’s practice standards; allow HFAs to reduce how frequently primary care providers are contacted each time residents refuse medication; provide regulatory requirements: (a) for a corrective action plan for identified violations, (b) for criteria for dismissing complaint allegations, and (c) to update physical plant requirements to nationally recognized models in congregate settings. Comments on the proposed rules may be made at the hearing, by mail or by email until November 6 at 5 p.m.
