New Mexico requirements loaded — the rules below are New Mexico’s own.

28 of the outstanding items are the ones a survey opens with.

One thing we couldn’t confirm.

We have not confirmed New Mexico's drill frequency for this licence class, so no frequency is stated. Read 8.370.14 NMAC for the emergency/disaster and drill sections. Do NOT carry anything forward from 7.8.2 NMAC — it was repealed 1 July 2024.

New Mexico — Assisted Living Facility for Adults

What New Mexico Health Care Authority (formerly Department of Health, Division of Health Improvement) can ask for, each cited. Checked July 2026.

Goes in the planIs the section written, and does it say what the rule requires?

7.8.2 NMAC, Requirements for Adult Residential Care Facilities, was REPEALED effective 1 July 2024 and replaced by 8.370.14 NMAC under the Health Care Authority. Any plan, policy manual or vendor template still citing 7.8.2 NMAC is citing a rule that no longer exists — and the regulator changed too, from the Department of Health to the Health Care Authority.

What New Mexico requires

Assisted Living Facility for Adults — Assisted living / residential care
  • The old citation is dead — 7.8.2 NMAC was repealed. 7.8.2 NMAC, Requirements for Adult Residential Care Facilities, was REPEALED effective 1 July 2024 and replaced by 8.370.14 NMAC under the Health Care Authority.

The evidence, and where it comes from

Every item above needs something you can hand over. The New Mexico fire drill log produces the drill record at the frequency this state sets, the emergency plan builder writes the plan itself from the same research, and the compliance calendar puts the life-safety tests on dates. Anything you record against the building shows up on the checklist already ticked.

A self-assessment against published rules, not a compliance determination. CompliMaint issues nothing — New Mexico Health Care Authority (formerly Department of Health, Division of Health Improvement) and your authority having jurisdiction do. Requirements we could not verify are absent rather than guessed at.
