House Bill 3961 amends the Health and Safety Code to require a licensed nursing facility, a licensed assisted living facility, or any other long‑term care facility providing care to residents who are assisted by the state long‑term care ombudsman to post on the facility's website information about the office of the ombudsman, including the office's statewide toll‑free telephone number and information regarding its role as an advocate for residents of long‑term care facilities. A long‑term care facility may comply with this requirement by posting the required information on the facility's parent company website if the facility does not maintain a unique website, but is not required to comply if the facility and any parent company do not maintain a website.
