A805

New Jersey A805 requires nursing homes to allow residents to use electronic monitoring devices in their rooms.

New Jersey A805 mandates that nursing homes permit residents to use electronic monitoring devices in their rooms, at the resident's or their legal representative's request. The nursing home must inform residents of their right to electronic monitoring and cannot refuse admission or remove a resident based on such a request. The monitoring must be voluntary, conducted in plain view if requested by the nursing home, and protect the privacy of other residents. If a resident shares a room, consent from the other resident or their legal representative is required.
