Bill > A02027

This bill amends the New York Social Services Law to require that medical evaluations for assisted living program admissions must be conducted within 30 days before a resident's admission date and must be signed by a physician, physician assistant, or nurse practitioner. The evaluation must specifically determine whether the assisted living program can adequately support the resident's physical, supervisory, and psycho-social needs. This new requirement aims to ensure that medical assessments are current and comprehensive, helping to match residents with appropriate care settings that can meet their individual health and care needs. By mandating a recent medical evaluation, the bill seeks to improve the quality of care and placement for individuals entering assisted living facilities by ensuring that their specific requirements are thoroughly assessed close to their admission date.
