The bill would amend the Health and Safety Code to require certain facilities that provide care to individuals with Alzheimer's disease or dementia to employ at least one individual with training or experience in providing care to an individual with Alzheimer's disease or dementia. The bill would also require the Health and Human Services Commission to take certain enforcement actions against facilities that violate that requirement.
