Bill > SB358

This bill amends requirements for continuing care facilities, which are places that offer residents a range of services, including housing, meals, and healthcare, often with a contract for future care. Specifically, it mandates that at least two of the quarterly meetings between the facility's governing body (like the board of directors) and residents must be open to all residents. Furthermore, certain key individuals, including a board member not employed by the facility and the chief executive officer, must attend at least two of these meetings annually, with at least one being open to all residents. The bill also introduces a provision allowing residents, through their council or a majority vote of independent living residents, to request that a resident representative, elected by the residents, participate in board meetings in an advisory, non-voting capacity.
