The "Long-Term Care Transparency Act" amends the Older Americans Act of 1965 to enhance oversight of long-term care facilities. It mandates that the Assistant Secretary for Aging submit annual reports to specific Congressional committees. These reports are required to aggregate and summarize the findings from all reports submitted by State Long-Term Care Ombudsman Programs . By consolidating this information, the bill aims to provide Congress with a clear, annual overview of the issues and activities within these programs, thereby increasing transparency regarding the quality of care in long-term facilities.
