Bill Summary

To improve quality and oversight of long-term care

AI Summary

This bill aims to improve the quality and oversight of long-term care in Massachusetts. It establishes the Long-Term Care Workforce and Capital Fund to provide training programs for long-term care workers and support capital improvements at long-term care facilities, including creating specialized care units. The bill also expands the services that can be provided at assisted living residences, requires more oversight and inspections of long-term care facilities, and prohibits discrimination against residents based on sexual orientation, gender identity, or HIV status. Additionally, the bill makes changes to Medicaid estate recovery rules, adjusts skilled nursing facility reimbursement rates, and creates task forces to study issues like hospital discharge delays and the viability of long-term care facilities.
