The Division Informal Dispute Resolution (IDR) policy has been amended to
address assisted living residence (ALR) representation on the ALR Informal
Dispute Resolution (IDR) Committee. Amended qualifications for participation are
as follows: ALR facility representatives must have experience as either an ALR
administrator or an ALR consultant. You may view this amended policy by clicking
here and then selecting "Policies", and then the IDR
Policy.
The Division collects resumes from facility representatives
interested in participating on the ALR IDR Committee on an on-going basis. The
five member committee includes representatives from facilities and agencies,
including an Ombudsman and a representative from the Division’s ALR
program.
The committee generally meets the fourth Thursday of each month
to review facility challenges to the evidence surrounding disputed deficiencies.
If no requests are received by the Thursday prior to the meeting, the meeting is
canceled. Facility representatives on the committee serve for four years. Each
representative has an alternate with whom they may share voting
responsibilities.
Interested facility representatives may submit
inquiries or send a resume to elaine.sabyan@state.co.us or call 303-692-2815.
Thank
you.
