Provides certain protections to residents of long-term care facilities and long-term acute care hospitals.

Summary

The measure prevents owners, administrators, employees, or financially‑benefiting affiliates of nursing homes, assisted‑living and similar facilities from handling a resident’s money or serving as their power of attorney, unless a court appoints them as guardian. It also obligates the Department of Health to create uniform admission contracts that facilities must use for new residents. The changes aim to protect vulnerable seniors from financial exploitation and ensure clear, consistent admission paperwork.
