AI Summary
This bill aims to enhance safety and quality of care in nursing homes and dementia special care units in Connecticut. It requires nursing homes and dementia units to employ a full-time infection prevention and control specialist, maintain a two-month supply of personal protective equipment, and have staff available to start intravenous lines. The bill also mandates monthly (or more frequent during outbreaks) infection prevention committee meetings, resident and staff testing during infectious disease outbreaks, and the establishment of family councils. Additionally, it directs the Department of Public Health to set minimum staffing level requirements and seek federal/state funds for nursing home infrastructure improvements.
