Bill 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. It defines ‘essential caregiver’ broadly to include family, friends, and spiritual advisors, and ensures these visits are at least as long as those afforded to facility employees. The bill also mandates that facilities post information about these rights and procedures for residents and their representatives.
