The bill amends the Public Health Code by adding a new section, 21795a, which mandates the establishment of a fall prevention training program specifically for unlicensed personnel working in nursing homes. This program will be developed and administered by the department in consultation with the Department of Health and Human Services.

Additionally, the bill requires that nursing homes ensure all unlicensed personnel complete the fall prevention training program. This initiative aims to enhance the safety and care of residents in nursing homes by equipping staff with the necessary skills to prevent falls.
