Requires long-term care facilities to meet with residents and residents' families to review emergency contact information and to offer residents opportunity to update information.
This bill requires New Jersey long-term care facilities (including nursing homes and assisted living residences) to meet annually with each resident and their family to review emergency contact details on file. It also mandates that facilities offer residents the opportunity to update their primary and secondary emergency contacts at least twice yearly. The law applies to all facilities licensed under state law and aligns with existing privacy regulations. Facilities must follow these steps to ensure contact information remains current for resident safety during emergencies.
