Relating to: requirements for the use of a memory care designation by community-based residential facilities. (FE)
Fiscal estimate received
Summary
The bill creates new statutes that define a “client group” and require community‑based residential facilities to meet specific standards before they can call themselves “memory care.” Starting July 1, 2027, only facilities serving people with irreversible dementia may use the designation, and they must provide defined dementia‑care training to administrators and resident‑care staff both initially and annually. Facilities already using the label must comply by that date to continue using it.
