Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives

That the following article is proposed as an amendment

facilities are promoted to consumers as places for ‘‘aging

Whereas almost half of all States reported that problems with
medications in assisted living facilities occurred fre-
quently or very often;
Whereas in a separate study the Institute of Medicine found
that medication-related errors account for a substantial
number of deaths among inpatients in hospitals;
Whereas States reported that staff quality, sufficient staff,
and inadequate care received the next highest number of
complaints after medication issues, but there is little con-
sistency in regulations of these areas;
Whereas some State laws or regulations specify which and
how many staff must be on duty in assisted living com-
munities at all times, while other States have no such
laws or regulations;
Whereas all States need to enforce sufficient staffing laws or
regulations that provide an adequate level of care to meet
the actual and assessed needs of each resident;
Whereas approximately 20 percent of States do not require
background checks for assisted living facilities and their
employees;
Whereas each State has different regulations and oversight,
leading to unequal quality of care and consumer protec-
tions in various regions of the country, for example, in
regulating care in assisted living facilities for Alzheimer’s
disease patients, some States have requirements in the
areas of training, staffing, activities, and environment
while others have no requirements in these areas;
