  • 1.  Please Respond by 3/17! FGI Wants Your Feedback About Resident Room Occupancy for the 2026 Guidelines

    Posted 03-06-2023 08:43 AM

    The Facility Guidelines Institute (FGI) has formed a work group to study and make recommendations about bedroom capacity (the number of residents in a bedroom) for new assisted living and nursing home construction for the 2026 Guidelines for Residential Health, Care and Support Facilities. The work group is early in the information gathering process and has developed this brief survey to solicit feedback on this topic from interested parties.

    If you work in senior living design or are a provider, we highly encourage you to click the appropriate link below to complete this short survey by March 17, 2023. Responses received are anonymous and will help inform the task group as they consider proposals to be developed for the 2026 Residential Guidelines.

    Thank you very much for your assistance in helping us obtain this important information from a variety of stakeholders.
