Bill > S3357

This bill requires the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman to include memory care training in the annual long-term care training program. The training program must address the needs and rights of long-term care residents with Alzheimer's disease and related disorders, as well as methods to deal with the specific problems encountered by such residents. If the training program does not include this memory care training within one year of the bill's effective date, the Ombudsman must appear before the relevant legislative committees to explain why and outline the steps being taken to fully implement the bill's provisions.
