Illinois HB4509 amends the Nursing Home Care Act to mandate follow-up visits within 60 days for residents with serious mental illness admitted to nursing homes. It also requires rescreening by the Department of Human Services or its designee after 90 days, at six months, and annually thereafter. The bill ensures that residents are assessed for their continuing need for nursing facility care and informed of other care options. It also addresses conflicts of interest for pre-admission screeners, allowing waivers if necessary.
