Imposes minimum staffing requirements and certain reporting requirements on certain long-term care facilities.
This bill requires long-term care facilities in New Jersey that specialize in Alzheimer's disease care to meet minimum staffing levels and maintain trained staff members available at all times. It mandates that facilities establish training programs for memory care therapy and annually certify compliance with enrichment activities and safety standards. The legislation also requires facilities to publicly report staffing numbers, describe Alzheimer's-specific activities, and submit annual data on antipsychotic medication use, while the state will conduct third-party reviews to identify and address excessive medication prescribing.
