Vermont weighs licensing resident care facilities at state level
Vermont officials push for state licensing of custodial care homes to tighten oversight while fearing overly strict standards could push homes out of business.

All nursing homes must be licensed, and halfway houses for rehab are eyed but seen as more nebulous to regulate.
