Requires long-term care facilities to meet with residents and residents' families to review emergency contact information and to offer residents opportunity to update information.

Bill A 3035 requires New Jersey long-term care facilities (including nursing homes and assisted living residences) to meet annually with each resident and their family to review emergency contact information on file. It also mandates that facilities offer residents the chance to update their emergency contact details - defined as primary and secondary contacts - twice each year. The bill emphasizes compliance with privacy laws and clarifies that facilities may still share resident information with non-emergency contacts. This policy directly affects residents, their families, and the facilities managing their care, aiming to ensure contact information remains current for emergencies.
