Massachusetts H794 clarifies responsibility for policy and budgetary decision-making in nursing homes.
Massachusetts H794 amends existing law to clarify responsibility for policy and budgetary decision-making in nursing homes. It requires nursing home administrators to certify that the facility's budget and staffing are sufficient to meet the care needs of residents. If the administrator fails to assent to the sufficiency of the facility budget, they shall be suspended by the board of registration. The bill also holds administrators and medical directors criminally and civilly liable for adverse events resulting from an insufficient budget.
