Illinois HB4723 amends the Medicaid program to enhance supportive living facilities for dementia care. The bill mandates that supportive living dementia care settings must not restrict residents' access to sinks, microwaves, or refrigerators in their rooms, provided a safety assessment deems it safe. It requires comprehensive safety assessments before residents move in and quarterly thereafter. The bill also mandates social and recreational programming at least three times daily, including at least one session separate from meal services.
