Establishes certain requirements concerning resident supervision at residential health care facilities.
This bill requires residential health care facilities to maintain at least two staff members on duty at all times for resident supervision (which can be a primary or secondary duty) and to develop comprehensive plans for residents who leave the premises, including immediate reporting protocols if a resident is missing for 24 hours. It directly affects free-standing residential health care facilities (not located within licensed health care facilities), which fall under the Department of Community Affairs' oversight. The Department of Health will oversee facilities located within other licensed health care facilities. The bill also clarifies that such facilities cannot advertise or operate as nursing homes.
