Requires long-term care facilities to submit reports regarding residents with disabilities.

This bill (S 1127) requires licensed long-term care facilities in New Jersey - including nursing homes, assisted living residences, and dementia care homes - to report data about residents with disabilities. Facilities must submit initial reports within 60 days of the law taking effect, detailing the total number of residents with disabilities, breakdowns by disability category (to be defined by state health and human services departments), and age ranges for each category. They must update this data whenever changes occur. The Department of Health will then publish quarterly summaries of this aggregated data on its public website, providing transparency about disability demographics across facilities. The bill is currently pending in the Senate Health Committee.
