Changes made to assisted living facilities and services.

HF 2647 amends Minnesota law governing assessments for residents in assisted living facilities. It requires facilities to conduct a nursing assessment by a registered nurse before a resident moves in or signs a contract, with telehealth allowed under specific conditions. The bill sets strict timelines: initial assessments must occur within 14 days of services starting, with ongoing monitoring required no more than 90 days later (or annually for some residents). It also mandates that facilities inform prospective residents about available long-term care consultation services before they commit. This bill directly affects assisted living facilities and their residents across Minnesota.
