The Essential Caregivers Act of 2024 amends Medicare and Medicaid regulations to require skilled nursing facilities, nursing facilities, intermediate care facilities for the intellectually disabled, and inpatient rehabilitation facilities to permit designated essential caregivers access to residents during periods when regular visitation is restricted by emergency orders. Facilities may deny access for an initial period of up to 7 days (or 14 days with state health department approval), but must allow at least one essential caregiver access every day thereafter. The bill establishes procedures for caregiver compliance agreements, notification of violations, and an appeals process for residents and caregivers to challenge access denials, with penalties up to $5,000 for facilities that violate these requirements.
