Bill Summary

Relative to assisted living facility residence appeal processes. Elder Affairs.

AI Summary

This bill establishes an informal dispute resolution process that allows assisted living facility residences to contest findings issued by the Executive Office of Elder Affairs (EOEA) for which corrective action is required. The bill requires the EOEA to offer residences the opportunity to dispute and appeal such findings within 10 days of receipt. The EOEA must establish a 10-member committee, including representatives from the Massachusetts Senior Care Association, LeadingAge of Massachusetts, MassALA, the Commonwealth's Ombudsman Program, and the EOEA, to review the appeals. The committee can recommend that the finding be retained or deleted, and their decision will be based on a consensus or, if a consensus cannot be reached, a majority vote.
