DPT AGING-ASSISTD LIVNG-OMBUDS                                             

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Creates the Assisted Living and Shared Housing Ombudsman Act  and      
   amends  the  Illinois  Act  on  the  Aging and the Assisted Living and      
   Shared Housing Act.  Requires the Department on Aging to establish  an      
   ombudsman  program  to  evaluate  complaints  by residents of assisted      
   living   and   shared   housing   establishments.    Imposes   certain      
   requirements  on  those  establishments  with  respect  to  access  to      
   residents  and  their  records  and  other  matters.   Provides   that      
   interference with an ombudsman's performance of his or her duties is a      
   petty offense. In the long term care ombudsman provisions under the         
   Illinois  Act  on the Aging, deletes references to assisted living and      
   shared housing establishments. In the Assisted Living and Shared            
   Housing Act, makes changes concerning the membership of the Assisted        
   Living and Shared Housing Advisory Board and the membership and             
   functions of the Assisted Living and Shared Housing Quality of Life         
   Advisory Committee. Effective immediately.                                  
          FISCAL NOTE (Department on Aging)                                    
          The cost to administer the ombudsman program would include           
          costs for program manager, program planner and administrative        
          assistant at the cost of $164,000. The cost for assisted living      
          ombudsman and staff for the senior helpline would be $427,000.       
          Other related costs would total $37,500.
