Summary

Adequate and based on scientific evidence.

The bill requires the state's health and human services rules for assisted living facilities that care for people with Alzheimer's disease or related disorders to include a staffing ratio for direct care workers. The ratio must be adequate and based on scientific evidence and on the extra supervision these residents need. The state must write those rules as soon as practicable after September 1, 2025, and the bill sets no number itself.
