Clarifies staff training requirements at long-term care facilities regarding care of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning, queer, and intersex seniors and seniors living with HIV.

This bill (S 2691) requires all New Jersey long-term care facilities to provide staff with biennial training focused on caring for LGBTQI seniors (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning, queer, intersex) and seniors living with HIV. It clarifies that facilities must designate two employees - one representing management and one representing direct care staff - to receive in-person training from an approved entity within six months. These two employees then train all other staff using materials from the initial training, covering topics like respectful communication, health challenges faced by LGBTQI seniors, and creating safe environments. Facilities must cover all training costs and maintain records for oversight by state health agencies. The bill directly affects New Jersey long-term care facilities, their staff, and the residents they serve.
