BILL NUMBER:S5375 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the elder law and the public health law, in relation to long term care ombudsman access to assisted living facilities PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF THE BILL: To insure that the long term care ombudsman have access to assisted living facilities. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: The bill would authorize the Long-Term Care Ombudsman program (LTCOP) to receive and resolve complaints affecting applicants and residents of assisted living residences. JUSTIFICATION: There has been some concern that the Long-Term Care Ombudsman program is being refused entrance into assisted living residences, due to some ambiguity in the State law. This bill cures any such ambiguity by requiring that all assisted living residences be notified of the requirement to allow long-term care ombudsmen access to their facilities.
