A1752

New Jersey A1752 provides protections for residents of long-term care facilities, including prohibiting certain individuals from acting as.

New Jersey A1752 mandates that operators of long-term care facilities provide residents with a notice about their right to use an attorney for Medicaid applications at the time of admission. The notice must be prominently displayed and separate from the standard resident admission agreement. The bill also prohibits these facilities from requiring residents to sign arbitration agreements as a condition of admission. Additionally, it invalidates powers of attorney naming certain facility staff as attorneys-in-fact.
