SPRINGFIELD – State Representative Jackie Haas (R-Kankakee) recently passed legislation to help improve communication between assisted living and nursing home providers and the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) through the Human Services Committee. House Bill 3428 would require semiannual joint training sessions with providers and surveyors to discuss quality of care, potential violations, and more.
“House Bill 3428 is another step towards improving our assisted living and nursing facilities in Illinois,” said Rep. Haas. “If passed, the semi-annual training requirement will allow for more communication between care providers and IDPH, ensuring everyone is on the same page and able to move forward in the best interest of patients. I look forward to seeing continued bipartisan support on this bill that is a win-win for everyone involved.”
House Bill 3428 now awaits action on the House floor.
