An Act requiring dignity, privacy, and safety for residents in nursing homes and rest homes

This bill requires nursing homes and rest homes to create and submit plans ensuring residents are treated with dignity, including staff training and policies based on dignity. It mandates single-occupancy rooms for all residents by July 2027 (with possible extensions), prohibits forcing residents to share rooms (except for married couples, family members, or medical needs), and bans rooms housing three or more residents. Facilities must also offer in-room dining without extra fees. Non-compliance results in $1,000 daily fines per deficient room.
