Provides that the plan shall address the physical and cognitive needs of residents and include special staff response. Provides that the plan shall be amended or revised whenever any resident with unusual needs is admitted. Establishes additional requirements for the plan. Requires each establishment to conduct at least 6 drills per year on a bimonthly basis, and at least 2 of the drills, involving staff only, shall be conducted during the night when residents are sleeping. Provides that all drills shall be held under varied conditions to ensure that all personnel on all shifts are trained to perform assigned tasks; ensure that all personnel on all shifts are familiar with the use of the firefighting equipment in the facility; and evaluate the effectiveness of disaster plans, procedures, and training. Establishes additional drill requirements.

House Floor Amendment No. 1

Adds reference to:
Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Assisted Living and Shared Housing Act. Provides that the comprehensive assessment of a resident must be completed by a physician, a nurse practitioner, or a physician assistant. In addition to the specified requirements, provides that a license may be issued to an establishment that is under the supervision of a full-time director who, in addition to the other specified credentials, has a college degree in health administration or who completes an approved program within 6 months after hiring. Adds intramuscular injections to the list of medications in the definition of "medication administration" in provisions concerning service requirements. Provides that repeated technical infractions within a calendar year may result in a Type 3 violation. In provisions concerning the dementia-specific standard with inter-rater reliability used to assess individual residents, provides that the assessment must be approved by the resident's physician, physician assistant who has experience in geriatric dementia care, or advanced practice registered nurse who has experience in geriatric dementia care (rather than approved by only the resident's physician) and shall occur prior to acceptance for residency, annually, and at such time that a change in the resident's condition is identified by a family member, staff of the establishment, or the resident's physician, physician assistant, or advanced practice registered nurse (rather than a family member, staff of the establishment, or the resident's physician). Effective immediately.
