This bill establishes Mission Critical Long-Term Care Teams under the authority of the Commissioner of Health in New Jersey. These teams are tasked with identifying long-term care facilities that may require progressive oversight and direct intervention to prevent declines in health and safety or disruptions in necessary healthcare services. Each team will consist of four individuals with expertise in various relevant fields, including long-term care administration, financial management, and nursing care. The Commissioner will also set specific indicators to evaluate the operational and financial soundness of these facilities, as well as their capacity to uphold residents' rights and meet licensing standards.

When a facility is identified as being at risk based on established indicators, the Commissioner may send a Mission Critical Long-Term Care Team to assess the situation and recommend corrective measures. Facilities are required to cooperate with the teams and provide access to all necessary information and operations. The bill also empowers the Commissioner to adopt rules and regulations to implement its provisions effectively. This initiative aims to enhance the quality of care in long-term care facilities and ensure the safety and rights of residents are prioritized.
