Health facilities: nursing homes; requirement for unlicensed personnel in nursing homes to complete fall prevention training established by the department; provide for. Amends 1978 PA 368 (MCL 333.1101 - 333.25211) by adding sec. 21795a.
This bill requires nursing homes in Michigan to ensure all unlicensed staff members complete a fall prevention training program. The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services will develop and manage this training program in consultation with relevant health agencies. The law applies specifically to unlicensed personnel working in nursing home facilities, mandating they finish the required training. This change aims to standardize fall prevention education for non-licensed staff across the state's nursing homes.
