Policy Option Package 123: Improving Quality of Long-Term Care This POP creates a Long-Term Care Quality Fund separate from the General Fund. Funds are appropriated for the purpose of regulatory compliance, enforcement and providing technical assistance for nursing facilities, residential care facilities, residential training facilities and residential training homes. Increases state civil penalties collected from LTC facilities not in compliance and places state civil penalties into the Long-Term Quality Care Fund dedicated for use for regulatory and compliance or enforcement activities. Increases annual licensing fees for long-term care facilities to fund the Long-Term Care Quality Fund. Increases compliance monitoring staff by four positions. GRB – Proposed investments
Policy Option Package 143: Expedited Trustee Fund This POP enhances the tool used to protect residents in facilities by modifying the grounds for the court to order appointment of a temporary trustee when residents are at risk and in order to prevent immediate evacuation of residents. Increases the amount of current assessments to nursing facilities and community-based care facilities to increase the current Facilities Trust Fund account balance from $300,000 to $500,000. Funds are used to pay for trustee services and continue paying for operating expenditures such as electrical, heat, water, supplies and food services. Current statute allows for a trustee to be requested and appointed when the health and welfare of residents in a facility are in jeopardy, but court appointment of trustees can take several days to weeks. This allows DHS to petition for the expedited appointment of a trustee in emergency situations. This will strengthen the department’s ability to respond quickly when faced with emergency situations and will allow the department to take over management of troubled facilities.
