This bill requires the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman to incorporate memory care training into the annual long-term care training program. Currently, the program covers a range of topics related to resident rights and facility operations. This amendment specifically mandates training on the unique needs and challenges faced by residents with Alzheimer's disease and related disorders, and strategies for addressing those specific issues. The bill also includes a mechanism to ensure the training program meets the new requirements, with potential appearances before legislative committees if it doesn't.
