H773

Relative to transparent name changes in nursing facilities

Introduced·2/27/25
Introduced Text

Massachusetts H773 mandates that name changes in nursing facilities must be transparent, ensuring safety records are transferred and publicly.

Massachusetts H773 requires that when a skilled nursing facility or assisted living residence changes its name, the safety record under the previous name must be transferred to the new name. The Department of Public Health must list both the old and new names, along with any safety or disciplinary records, on its official website and direct the facility to do the same on its own platforms. Facilities failing to comply with these transparency requirements face penalties.
