Chamber Passed·3/23/26

New Jersey S3023 provides protections for residents of long-term care facilities and long-term acute care hospitals.

New Jersey S3023 mandates that operators of long-term care facilities inform residents and their representatives about the right to use an attorney for Medicaid application assistance at the time of admission. It prohibits owners, administrators, directors, officers, employees, or affiliated entities of long-term care facilities or long-term acute care hospitals from acting as attorneys-in-fact for residents. The bill also requires the Department of Health to develop standard resident admission agreement forms and mandates that these forms be used by long-term care facilities.
