New York A05715 requires nursing homes and certain facilities to provide health care proxy forms to patients at or prior to admission.

New York A05715 amends the public health law to mandate that nursing homes and certain facilities provide health care proxy forms to patients at or prior to admission. Each patient must be given the opportunity to file this form with the department. If the patient does not already have a health care proxy registered with the department, the facility must file the form on the patient's behalf. This change aims to ensure that patients have the necessary tools to make informed health care decisions.
