Senate Bill 383 amends the Health and Safety Code to require a nursing facility advertising, marketing, or otherwise promoting that the facility provides memory care services to prepare a written notice disclosing whether the facility is certified or is not certified under state law to provide specialized care and treatment for facility residents with Alzheimer's disease and related disorders. The facility must provide written notice to the following persons disclosing whether the facility holds such certification:
· each facility resident; and
· each person applying for services from the facility or the person's next of kin or guardian.
The bill sets out a similar requirement for the provision of such a disclosure to residents of assisted living facilities.
