AI Summary

This bill aims to establish regulations for the operation of small house nursing homes in Massachusetts. Small house nursing homes are defined as one or more units of a nursing home designed and modeled as a private home, with a residential kitchen and living area. The bill requires the Department to develop regulations that prohibit the use of institutional features, support a staffing model with a "universal worker approach" to resident care, and establish construction and physical plant standards tailored to the smaller size and limited number of residents served in small house nursing homes. Additionally, the bill directs the Executive Office of Health and Human Services to develop an add-on to payment rates for nursing facilities that develop small house nursing homes and meet certain criteria.
