Bill Summary

By Mr. Arciero of Westford, a petition of James Arciero and others that the Executive Office of Elder Affairs establish a dispute resolution process for certain assisted living residences to contest findings issued for which corrective action is necessary. Elder Affairs.

AI Summary

This bill would establish an informal dispute resolution process within the Executive Office of Elder Affairs (EOEA) that allows assisted living facilities to contest findings for which corrective action is required. The process would allow facilities to request a review of the EOEA's findings within 10 days of receiving them, and a 5-member committee, including representatives from various industry and advocacy groups, would review the appeal and recommend whether the finding should be sustained or deleted. The committee would make decisions by consensus or majority vote if consensus cannot be reached.
