Illinois HB4509 amends the Nursing Home Care Act to require follow-up visits and rescreening for residents with serious mental illness.
HB4509 amends the Nursing Home Care Act to mandate that individuals admitted to a nursing home with a serious mental illness diagnosis receive a follow-up visit within 60 days of admission and a resident review. Residents who stay in the facility for 90 days must be rescreened at the end of the 90-day period, at six months, and annually thereafter. The Department of Human Services must ensure there are no conflicts of interest for pre-admission screeners, with a rule allowing for waivers if necessary.
