Bill > SB00490

This bill proposes several key improvements for rehabilitation facilities and assisted living facilities in the state. Specifically, the bill aims to enhance staffing levels in rehabilitation facilities, mandate the creation of comprehensive emergency protocols in assisted living facilities, and require transparent pricing for assisted living services. For rehabilitation facilities, the bill introduces three main requirements: (1) developing individualized mobility plans for each resident, which will be tailored to their specific physical needs and capabilities, (2) implementing daily movement and therapy sessions to ensure residents maintain and improve their physical functionality, and (3) providing routine podiatric (foot) care for all residents to prevent medical complications that could potentially limit their mobility. These proposed changes are designed to improve the overall quality of care, safety, and transparency in these critical healthcare facilities, with a focus on supporting residents' physical well-being and ensuring they have access to comprehensive, personalized care.
