Bill overview
This bill, the Alzheimer’s Dementia and Other Forms of Dementia Special Care Disclosure Act, requires certain care facilities (like nursing homes, assisted living, and memory care units) to clearly disclose the specific care, memory care, and treatment methods they offer to individuals with Alzheimer’s dementia or other forms of dementia. It also mandates that referral agencies provide access to this disclosure information and requires facilities to submit a standardized form to the Department of Health for review. The bill broadens penalties for non-compliance and establishes an advisory council to assist with developing disclosure guidelines.
