🏥 Maryland Assisted Living Facilities: What You Need to Know About the 2025 COMAR 10.07.14 Regulation Changes

ClearPath Consulting Group can help with COMAR 10.07.14

Major Regulatory Updates for Maryland Assisted Living Providers Are Now in Effect

The Office of Health Care Quality (OHCQ) has released new Assisted Living Regulations under COMAR 10.07.14, effective November 1, 2025.

These changes, officially promulgated on April 28, 2025, impact nearly every operational area for Assisted Living Facilities in Maryland — from staffing and documentation to resident care, emergency procedures, and staff training.

To help providers adjust, OHCQ has issued a “New Assisted Living Regulations Compliance Checklist,” which allows facilities a six-month window (ending April 30, 2026) to bring their policies, procedures, and documentation into full compliance before surveyors begin issuing enforcement citations.

Why This Matters Now - COMAR 10.07.14

During this transition period, facilities are expected to:

• Review and update their policy and procedure manuals

• Revise forms, documentation templates, and training materials

• Update staff orientation and ongoing training content

• Align all operations with the new COMAR 10.07.14 requirements
  

After April 30, 2026, surveyors will no longer issue compliance checklists — they will issue deficiencies.

For many providers, the most time-consuming part of compliance is rewriting outdated policies to match the new standards — and doing so accurately to withstand OHCQ inspection. COMAR 10.07.14
