The bill amends Section 1-890.3 of the Oklahoma Statutes to update the rules under the Continuum of Care and Assisted Living Act. Key changes include the replacement of the term "Board" with "Commissioner" of Health, the introduction of minimum standards for resident care, and the requirement for assisted living centers to establish an internal quality assurance committee. This committee is tasked with monitoring trends, customer satisfaction, and quality assurance efforts, and must include specific members such as a Registered Nurse, the center administrator, and a direct care staff person.
Additionally, the bill outlines the duties and composition of the quality assurance committee, which must meet quarterly and recommend internal policies on resident care. It also mandates that assisted living centers execute a plan of care and a resident service contract. The bill is set to take effect on November 1, 2025, and aims to enhance the quality of care and oversight in assisted living facilities across Oklahoma.
