Extends provisions of the long term care ombudsman to assisted living facilities
This bill extends the existing long-term care ombudsman program to include assisted living facilities for an additional two years, from December 31, 2025, through December 31, 2027. It directly affects residents of assisted living facilities by maintaining their access to an ombudsman who helps resolve complaints and improve care quality. The key mechanism is a two-year renewal of current provisions under the Elder Law, ensuring ongoing oversight without new requirements. The extension applies to all facilities currently covered under the ombudsman program.
