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 centers) to let residents or their representatives designate up to two essential caregivers for in-person visits during health emergencies such as pandemics. Facilities must document these designations in residents' care plans, provide visitation time equal to normal circumstances, and post clear policies online about caregiver rights. It prohibits facilities from imposing stricter infection protocols on caregivers than on staff and mandates written information to residents about how to designate caregivers. The bill directly affects long-term care residents and their chosen caregivers, ensuring consistent access during crises.
