AI Summary
This bill calls for the establishment of an emergency task force to review the financial stability of nursing homes in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The task force will consist of various state officials and representatives from the nursing home industry, labor unions, and long-term care experts. The task force will evaluate options and make policy recommendations to ensure the financial stability of nursing homes and the provision of quality resident care and quality jobs. This includes recommendations on improvements to the MassHealth reimbursement system, nursing home workforce engagement and staffing, potential voluntary reconfiguration of the nursing home system, and additional reforms to the nursing home closure process. The task force will report its findings and recommendations within one year, and the House and Senate committees on Post Audit and Oversight will then conduct a performance audit of the long-term care delivery systems in the Commonwealth based on the task force's recommendations.
