AI Summary

This bill aims to establish separate regulations for rest homes that are distinct from nursing home regulations. It requires the Department to develop regulations that are consistent with current care practices and reflect the unique needs of rest home residents, including allowing for locks on resident room doors to ensure privacy. The bill also mandates that the Department consult with industry groups, such as Leading Age Massachusetts and the Massachusetts Association of Residential Care Homes (MARCH), in developing the proposed rest home regulations.
