Imposes minimum staffing requirements and certain reporting requirements on certain long-term care facilities.
This bill requires long-term care facilities providing specialized Alzheimer's care to maintain minimum staffing levels, including at least one staff member trained in memory care present at all times. Facilities must annually certify compliance with memory care practices (including patient enrichment activities) and submit detailed reports on antipsychotic medication use to the Department of Health. They must also provide daily shift records showing nurse and aide counts for Alzheimer's patients, written activity plans for potential residents, and annual medication data. These provisions directly affect facilities certified to care for Alzheimer's patients in New Jersey.
