Licensing an Assisted Living Business
Senior Housing Licensing by State
Senior housing includes various subcategories, many of which require state-level licensing. Assisted Living, Memory Care, and Skilled Nursing almost always require a license from the state in which they operate. Independent Living requirements vary widely. Understanding the licensing requirements in any state you're considering operating in is critical to successful acquisition and compliance.
Some states have simple, open licensing processes, while others are far more complex and regulated—especially in Certificate of Need (CON) states. To help guide your due diligence, use the dropdown below to access your state's senior housing regulatory website.
