Health; Alzheimer's Dementia and Other Forms of Dementia Special Care Disclosure Act; type of care; penalties; misdemeanor; effective date.

HB 1472 requires nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and similar care providers that advertise specialized dementia care to disclose specific details about their services. Facilities must submit a standardized form to Oklahoma's State Department of Health covering care philosophy, staffing ratios, resident activities, fees, and facility certifications. This information must be posted on the facility's website and made publicly available through a state-maintained online directory. Facilities falsely advertising dementia care without meeting these standards face civil penalties and misdemeanor charges. The law aims to ensure transparency for families considering care options for loved ones with dementia.
