SD 1244 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act to improve quality and oversight of long-term care

This bill aims to enhance the quality of long-term care in Massachusetts by creating new funding programs and training opportunities for nursing home staff. It establishes a grant program to support supervisory training for facility leaders, a career ladder initiative to help entry-level workers like nurses' aides advance their skills and education, and a tuition reimbursement plan for those completing certified nursing assistant training. These measures are designed to improve staff retention, increase worker satisfaction, and ultimately raise the standard of care provided in licensed nursing facilities.
