Bill overview
This bill aims to protect residents of long-term care facilities and long-term acute care hospitals by restricting who can act as their attorney-in-fact or guardian. Specifically, it prohibits owners, administrators, and affiliated individuals from serving in these roles, and requires court approval for guardianships. The bill also establishes requirements for standard admission contracts, notices regarding legal assistance and federal regulations, and training for non-attorney Medicaid application assistance providers to ensure residents have access to legal support and are informed of their rights.
