New Jersey S1825 mandates long-term care facilities to create personalized care plans for residents and ensures visitation rights during emergencies.

New Jersey S1825 requires long-term care facilities to develop person-centered care plans for residents. It also establishes the right for residents to designate essential caregivers who can visit during emergencies or infectious disease outbreaks. Essential caregivers can include family members, friends, or spiritual advisors, with no specific criteria for designation. Facilities must inform residents about these rights and allow visits equal to normal visitation times. The Department of Health will ensure compliance with these provisions.
