After abuse and overcrowding reports in Kanchanaburi and Nonthaburi, the government ordered inspections of all 1,203 registered elderly and dependent care facilities within two months. Checks cover premises, safety, emergency systems, qualified staff and whether each facility sticks to its operating licence, under the Health Establishment Act 2016. If you run or plan to run a care home or day-care service, check your licence scope, staffing, safety equipment and emergency procedures now. Unlicensed operations are a focus, so confirm your registration with DHSS is current.
