A 3570 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Imposes minimum staffing requirements and certain reporting requirements on certain long-term care facilities.

This bill requires long-term care facilities providing specialized care for Alzheimer's patients to meet minimum staffing levels, including having at least one staff member trained in memory care present at all times. Facilities must annually certify compliance with memory care practices (including patient enrichment activities) and report antipsychotic medication usage to the state. The bill mandates facilities to maintain daily staffing records, provide public access to shift staffing data, and share details about Alzheimer's-specific activities and safety protocols for prospective residents. It also directs the state to track and publicly report antipsychotic prescribing patterns and issue corrective plans for facilities exceeding safe usage thresholds.
