Overview
This bill aims to protect residents of long-term care facilities and long-term acute care hospitals by restricting who can manage their finances and serve as their legal representatives. It prohibits owners, administrators, and employees of these facilities from acting as guardians or attorneys-in-fact for residents, unless appointed by a court. The bill also mandates standardized admission agreements and requires facilities to inform residents about their right to hire an attorney for Medicaid application assistance, while prohibiting mandatory arbitration agreements.
