Requires procurement of management support and other services for certain nursing homes.

This bill (A1862) requires New Jersey's Department of Health to mandate certain nursing homes with serious or repeated violations of health, safety, or resident care standards to hire or contract with a qualified monitor or vendor. The monitor must have expertise in long-term care and provide services like management support, staffing assistance, or consultative help to address violations, transition ownership, facilitate safe closures, or prevent operations from stopping. The Department oversees the monitor's work and requires them to report to both the nursing home and the Department. Nursing homes affected are those identified by the Department as having substantial or habitual violations under federal or state law. The monitor may access records (per privacy laws), attend meetings, hire consultants, and take actions to protect resident safety.
