AI Summary
This bill establishes a no-interest, forgivable loan program to fund the development of nursing facility specialized care units, enable facilities to offset the costs of capital improvements, and promote innovative projects designed to reduce nursing facility bed capacity. The specialized care units include infectious disease isolation, dementia care, geriatric psychiatry, and other specialized services. The capital improvement funding can be used for HVAC and air filtration upgrades, infrastructure repairs, and elevator renovations.
