Requires State Long-Term Care Ombudsman to include memory care training in annual long-term care training program.
This bill requires New Jersey's State Long-Term Care Ombudsman to include memory care training on Alzheimer's disease and related disorders in the annual long-term care training program. The training must cover residents' specific needs, rights, and effective methods for addressing challenges faced by those with memory-related conditions. If the training program does not include this content one year after the bill takes effect, the Ombudsman must report to legislative committees about the delay and steps to implement it. The requirement ends once the training fully includes memory care content, directly affecting the Ombudsman's program and its participants, including staff, volunteers, and health department personnel.
