Relating to: fall prevention and recovery training, CPR and first aid certification, a duty to provide aid in certain residential facilities, granting rule-making authority, and making an appropriation. (FE)
SB 1021 requires adult family homes and residential care apartment complexes to implement specific safety measures. It mandates fall prevention and recovery training for all staff and residents within 30 days of move-in (unless medically certified otherwise), and requires facilities to maintain at least one certified CPR provider, one certified first aid provider, and one staff member trained in fall recovery and safe lifting techniques on-site at all times. The bill also establishes a duty for facilities to provide immediate CPR or first aid during medical emergencies (pending emergency services) and to attempt safe lifting of fallen, uninjured residents before calling for help. These requirements directly affect staff and residents in these residential care facilities.
