Bill overview
This bill directs the Massachusetts Department of Public Health to conduct a study examining whether the state government should take over the regulation of all ‘memory care’ assisted living facilities and units within the Commonwealth. Currently, these facilities are overseen by a variety of local boards. The study will assess the feasibility of consolidating oversight to potentially improve quality of care and ensure consistent standards for residents with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. This legislation seeks to evaluate the potential benefits and challenges of a centralized regulatory approach.
