Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Nursing Home Care Act. Replaces provisions concerning serious mental illness rescreening.

Provides that the Department of Human Services shall ensure there are no conflicts of interest for pre-admission screeners.
House Floor Amendment No. 1
Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the provisions of the introduced bill with the following changes. Provides that all persons admitted to a nursing home facility with a diagnosis of serious mental illness shall receive a follow-up visit by the Department of Human Services or its designee within 60 days after admission (rather than just a follow-up visit within 60 days after admission). Provides that, after admission, any resident with a diagnosis of serious mental illness who experiences a specified significant change in physical or mental condition shall be referred by the nursing facility for a resident review by the Department of Human Services or its designee within 72 hours after the significant change.
