Questions answered

Frequently asked questions

What is a Plan of Operation for an RCFE?

A Plan of Operation is a document required by CDSS as part of every RCFE license application. It describes how your facility will operate day-to-day, covering staffing, resident care, activities, medication management, and emergency procedures. Without it, CDSS will not process your application.

Is this specific to California RCFE licensing?

Yes. This document is written specifically for California Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly (RCFEs) and follows current CDSS requirements under CCR §87206 and the RCFE Act (Health & Safety Code §1569 et seq.).

What format does this come in?

The document is delivered as an editable Microsoft Word (.docx) file. You fill in your facility-specific details such as the facility name, address, administrator name, resident population, and staff roster before submitting to CDSS.

Does this cover both 6-bed and 7-15 bed facilities?

Yes. The Plan of Operation template applies to both capacity ranges. You customize the staffing ratios, bedroom count, and capacity sections to match your licensed capacity before submission.

Can I use this for a license modification or renewal?

Yes. CDSS may also request an updated Plan of Operation when you change your administrator, modify your license capacity, or are responding to deficiencies cited during an inspection.
