Requires long-term care facilities to develop person-centered care plans for residents and establishes right to certain forms of visitation for long-term care residents.

This bill requires New Jersey long-term care facilities (like nursing homes and assisted living residences) to let residents or their legal representatives designate at least two "essential caregivers" during emergencies, outbreaks, or pandemics. Essential caregivers can be family, friends, or spiritual advisors, with no restrictions on who can be chosen, and their visitation rights must match normal in-person visitation times. Facilities must document these designations in residents' care plans, post visitation rights online, and provide written information to residents about the process. The Department of Health will enforce compliance, ensuring facilities don’t impose stricter health protocols on caregivers than on their own staff.
