The sponsor's argument
Why Gustavo Rivera says this is needed
When a resident of an adult home, enriched housing, assisted living residence or special needs assisted living residence requires a nursing evaluation or assessment or incidental nurse care, the facility must either arrange for a visit by a nursing agency or transfer the resident, most often to a hospital and sometimes to a nursing home. This bill allows the Commissioner of Health to make regulations permit- ting operators to provide incidental nursing services to benefit resi- dents who are otherwise subject to unnecessary transfers. The bill clearly prohibits an operator who chooses to undertake such service from misrepresenting their facilities as an Enhanced Assisted Living Resi- dence (EALR) or offering aging in place, unless they are already approved for EALR, as some facilities have multiple levels of care.
This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
