Overview
This bill requires long-term care facilities in New Jersey to develop personalized care plans for residents and guarantees residents the right to designate at least two ‘essential caregivers’ who can visit during emergencies or infectious disease outbreaks. These caregivers can be family, friends, or designated individuals, and visits must be at least as long as those allowed under normal circumstances. The bill also outlines how facilities must communicate these rights and visitation policies to residents and their representatives.
