The California Department of Social Services (CDSS) has issued a new Provider Information Notice (PIN) extending statewide waivers for certain licensing requirements for Adult and Senior Care (ASC) facilities through September 30, 2020. The PIN updates waivers related to visitation, buildings and grounds/capacity, staffing ratios, staff training, tuberculosis testing, staff age, and medical assessments. These waivers can be implemented without individual requests from licensees, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the PIN. CDSS recommends ASC licensees follow guidance from healthcare providers, the CDC, the California Coronavirus Response, the California Department of Public Health, and local health departments. Non-compliance with the PIN may result in consequences for affected healthcare facilities.
