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 detailed responsibilities for the quality assurance committee, including the recommendation of internal policies on resident care and medication administration. It also mandates the execution of a plan of care and a resident service contract with residents or their representatives. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
