Health facility matters.

Summary

The bill would make licensed health facilities in Indiana assign a staff member to act as a family advocacy liaison, set up an independent third‑party process for written neglect complaints, and provide grief counseling to families of deceased residents. It also bars facilities from retaliating against employees who report legal violations or cooperate with investigations. Additionally, the state health commissioner must convene a work group to study ways to reduce resident neglect and report its findings to the General Assembly.
