A 2292 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Revises inspection requirements for long-term care facilities.

This bill revises New Jersey's inspection requirements for all long-term care facilities - including nursing homes, assisted living residences, and dementia care homes - to expand oversight beyond previous nursing home-only rules. It mandates the Department of Health to publish quarterly public reports comparing facilities based on staff-to-resident ratios, verified complaints, violations, and other compliance metrics. The bill also requires standardized inspections covering facility policies, physical safety, staffing levels, mandatory services (like medical care and infection control), and advisory services. The Department may increase inspection frequency or duration for non-compliant facilities, with a two-year phase-in period for staffing/resource needs if required. These changes aim to ensure ongoing compliance with health, safety, and operational standards across all facility types.
