Bill Summary
Assisted living facilities; involuntary discharge; notice. Requires that regulations of the Board of Social Services regarding involuntary discharges of residents from assisted living facilities provide residents, the Department of Social Services, and the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman with a 45-day notice prior to an involuntary discharge. Under current law, a 30-day notice is required prior to involuntary discharge.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to increase the required notice period for involuntary discharges from assisted living facilities from 30 days to 45 days, meaning residents, the Department of Social Services, and the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman will receive a 45-day advance warning before a resident is forced to leave. This change aims to provide individuals with more time to find alternative housing or make necessary arrangements when they are asked to leave an assisted living facility, which are residential care facilities that provide housing, meals, and assistance with daily living activities.
