Explanation

(This amendment provides $300,000 each year from the general fund to the Department for Aging and Rehabilitative Services to expand the Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program. The staffing standard set in the Code of Virginia provides for one ombudsman for every 2,000 licensed nursing home and adult care residence beds in the community. This funding provides support to continue efforts to make progress toward meeting the staffing standard. This level of staffing has been recommended by the National Institute of Medicine.)
