With Governor Doug Ducey’s veto of SB 1282, the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) is set to take over the licensing of managers for nursing homes and assisted living facilities. Ducey’s push to transfer jurisdiction over these managers to the state creates several concerning obstacles with worrying implications for seniors, according to the executive director of the Arizona Healthcare Association (AzHCA), David Voepel.
SB 1282, sponsored by Sen. Tyler Pace, would have reinstituted the Board of Examiners of Nursing Care Institution Administrators and Assisted Living Facility Managers (NCIA) for another eight years.
According to Voepel, there’s only so much time for the state to implement a system in which it oversees the licensure process. With Pace’s bill off the table, current NCIA operations are set to end in June. In other words, Arizona needs to produce an alternative to NCIA oversight in less than two months.
