Indiana HB1180 mandates health facilities to implement measures to prevent neglect and ensure resident safety.

Indiana HB1180 requires health facilities to establish an independent third-party review process for resident complaints of neglect. Facilities must designate a family advocacy liaison to assist residents and their families. Facilities are prohibited from retaliating against employees who disclose violations or participate in investigations. The bill also mandates grief support for families after a resident's death and urges a study on minimum staff-to-patient ratios.
