A Louisiana bill on long-term care policy, signed into law. Last moved May 28, 2026.
What this means for a building owner
This does not target nursing homes. It is mostly about nursing care delivered in people's homes, and it mentions nursing facilities only in passing, as one place people end up when home nursing hours cannot be staffed. There is no money and no new duty here for a nursing home; the text does not say any amount or any rule for facilities. The study dates are October 1, 2026 for a status update and February 1, 2027 for the final report, but nothing in the text starts on those dates for your building.
What the bill does
This is a resolution asking the state health agency to study in-home skilled nursing care for people on Medicaid. The study would look at whether there are enough providers, how hours get approved and paid, and why some approved hours go unstaffed. A status update is due by October 1, 2026, and the full report with recommendations is due by February 1, 2027.
