Creates provisions relating to attendant call systems in residential care facilities and assisted living facilities
HB 2839 establishes new requirements for attendant call systems in residential care facilities and assisted living facilities. The bill mandates that these facilities must have a working communication system, such as an intercom, pager, buzzer, or bell, located in every resident's bedroom and toilet room. Additionally, the system must be loud enough for attendants to hear from their work areas. These changes directly affect the operational standards for residential care providers to ensure residents can easily summon assistance.
