What is the validity period of an RC probationary license?

The validity period of an RC probationary license is one hundred twenty days. This timeframe is established to allow new or prospective residential care and assisted living facilities time to demonstrate compliance with the regulatory standards and to ensure that they can provide safe and effective care to residents.

During this probationary period, facilities are typically evaluated to assess their operations, staffing, safety measures, and overall readiness to meet the necessary requirements for licensure. The hundred twenty-day duration balances the need for rigorous oversight with providing sufficient time for operators to make any adjustments or improvements needed to pass final evaluations and secure full licensure.

Other possible options, such as one hundred days, ninety days, or one hundred fifty days, do not align with the established guidelines for hours required for probationary status and thus, are not correct.
