Bill > HF2647

This bill modifies regulations for nursing assessments and monitoring in assisted living facilities, specifically updating Minnesota Statutes section 144G.70, subdivision 2. The bill expands the flexibility of initial nursing assessments by allowing telecommunication methods when in-person assessment is challenging due to distance or urgent circumstances. It changes the timeline and frequency of resident reassessments, extending the maximum period between assessments from 90 to 180 calendar days and requiring annual assessments. The bill also introduces detailed requirements for focused health status assessments by registered or licensed practical nurses, which must be scheduled not to exceed 90 days since the last reassessment. For residents receiving basic assisted living services, the bill maintains the requirement for an initial review within 30 calendar days and ongoing monitoring based on changing resident needs. Additionally, facilities must continue to inform prospective residents about long-term care consultation services before contract execution or move-in. These changes aim to provide more comprehensive and flexible healthcare monitoring for assisted living facility residents while ensuring their individual needs are consistently assessed and addressed.
