Extends regulatory power of State Long-Term Care Ombudsman to senior housing.

This bill expands the authority of New Jersey's State Long-Term Care Ombudsman to include senior housing facilities, specifically age-restricted communities that qualify under federal fair housing laws. The key provision requires the ombudsman to accept, investigate, and resolve complaints regarding abuse or exploitation of elderly residents living in these communities. By amending existing state law, the bill ensures that oversight and advocacy services previously focused on long-term care facilities now also cover senior housing environments.
