What are two specific regulations governing assisted living facilities?

Your contact at the community center told you that the presentation is going to be for adult caregivers seeking information about different living environments for their aging loved ones. (This could include sons and daughters caring for their parents for example.)
Within the presentation, your contact asked you to specifically address the following questions:

What are two specific regulations governing assisted living facilities?
What types of services do assisted living facilities offer? What types of clients do they serve?
What are the common sources of reimbursement for assisted living? What affect might these have on care?
What governing bodies oversee skilled nursing facilities?
What are the common sources of reimbursement for skilled nursing? What affect might these have on care?
What resources can be used to select an appropriate facility? How can people find these sources?
