An Act to improve quality and oversight of long-term care
This bill aims to enhance the quality of long-term care in Massachusetts by creating two new programs under the Commonwealth Corporation. First, it establishes a grant program to fund training for nursing home supervisors and leaders, with the goal of improving staff satisfaction, keeping workers employed, and reducing turnover. Second, it authorizes the creation of an additional program, subject to future funding approval, to support further improvements in the long-term care sector. These changes directly affect nursing facilities and the employees who work within them by providing resources for professional development and operational stability.
