CCLD Part A & B application checklist

Community Care Licensing Division reviewers know what a complete, well-prepared application looks like. Here's what to have ready.

Part A: facility application

Property that meets local zoning for a residential care facility
Fire clearance in progress or completed
Facility floor plan showing compliant room configurations and occupancy
Policies and procedures for resident care

Part B: administrator application

Completed Initial Certification Training Program (ICTP) — 35 hours for ARF administrators, 80 hours for RCFE administrators

Background check clearance
CPR and first aid certification

Financial documentation

Monthly operating statement
Balance sheet
Proof of sufficient operating funds (financial information release and verification forms)

Why completeness matters

An incomplete application doesn't just sit and wait — it gets sent back for correction, which restarts the clock on that portion of review. Going in with every piece above already prepared is the single biggest lever you have over your own timeline.
