We help ensure the safety, health, and well-being of children and adults in licensed settings such as assisted living facilities (ALF), adult day centers (ADC), children’s residential facilities (CRF), and licensed child-placing agencies (LCPA).
Our Division of Licensing Programs (DOLP) team supports both the licensed providers and facilities and the participants, residents, and families they serve. Through inspections and guidance, we partner to ensure the essential health and safety standards for quality care are met.
