1:40:20Now PlayingThe Senate Family Care and Aging Committee gave its approval to two bills Wednesday, March 20, intended to protect Minnesota's vulnerable adults. Sponsored by committee chair Karin Housley, R-St.Marys Point, SF 931 would increase support for the Office of Ombudsman for Long-Term Care, and SF 8 establishes a variety of measures adding protections for residents in elderly care facilities.
Specifically, SF 8, referred to as the Vulnerable Adult Protection Act, establishes licensing standards for assisted living facilities that would include survey, staffing and facility requirements. It also strengthens oversight of the Office of Health Facility Complaints and allows the use of electronic video systems to aid families in monitoring the care of their relatives. SF 931 increases funding to allow the hiring of additional senior citizen advocates.
