NURSING HOMES: Requests the Louisiana Department of Health to work with stakeholders to develop a plan for the reestablishment of a nursing home following a natural disaster.

This Senate Concurrent Resolution asks the Louisiana Department of Health to create a plan for reopening nursing homes that were closed due to natural disasters. The bill specifically targets elderly residents and their families, aiming to prevent communities from losing long-term care facilities after events like hurricanes or floods. It directs the department to collaborate with various stakeholders, including local legislators and nursing home associations, while considering the emotional and social impacts of relocating seniors. The resolution does not mandate immediate action but formally urges the state agency to address the unique challenges of rebuilding care infrastructure in disaster-affected areas.
