Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Nursing Home Care Act. Provides that if a nursing home does not correct a situation, condition, or practice that has resulted in an administrative warning, the nursing home is subject to a fine of not less than $1,000 and not more than $10,000. For a "Type A" violation, increases the fine from $5 to $50 per resident in the facility plus $2 (instead of $0.20) per day, and increases the alternative maximum fine from not less than $5,000 to not less than $20,000 (or from not less than $10,000 to not less than $50,000 when death, serious mental or physical harm, permanent disability, or disfigurement results). For a "Type B" violation, increases the fine from $3 to $30 per resident in the facility plus $2 (instead of $0.20) per day, and increases the alternative maximum fine from not less than $500 to not less than $5,000. Requires a nursing home to reimburse a particular resident for injuries incurred or $1,000 (instead of $100), whichever is greater. Removes a provision concerning reimbursement in the case of a violation involving any action other than theft of money. Effective January 1, 2006.
