AB 508: Residential care facilities for the elderly: direct care ratios.

This bill requires residential care facilities for the elderly to calculate and maintain direct care ratios, which are the number of direct care staff per resident. The facilities must disclose these ratios to residents or their representatives upon admission and any time there is a rate increase. The disclosures must be in writing and signed by the resident, their representative, or the facility's licensee or employee. The facilities must also make their direct care ratios available to the public on their internet website, in literature, and in locations visible to all residents. This information must include details on how the ratios are calculated and when they are available.
