Binders for Your Assisted Living Facility

There are so many things to do when preparing to license your facility as an Assisted Living. Having all of your documents organized in binders can make inspections (and operations) much smoother. Below are a few of my favorite items for putting together binders for an Assisted Living:

1. Binders: You will need a good set of binders for your Policies & Procedures, and all the documents required to pass a Life Safety Inspection. Lately I’ve been using these Avery Binders, size 2inch. I recommend buying one for each bed you are licensed for. For example, if you are applying to operate with a license for 6 beds, buy at least 6 binders. I also recommend buying one for your “Life Safety Ready” binder, and one or two for your “Policies & Procedures” binder.

2. Dividers: To organize all the documents within the “Life Safety Ready” and “Policies & Procedures” binders, I have been using these Avery Dividers with 31 tabs. I use one for putting together your Life Safety Ready Binder, and the other 2 sets for your Policies and Procedures binder.

3. More Dividers: I use the 15 tabs dividers for resident binders, and the 12 tab dividers for Personnel binders!

There are a lot of awesome products on the market to make your office functional and beautiful at the same time. I’d love to see your work if you do use these!

I hope you all found this helpful!
Rooting for you!
