lues day, September 1
New law affects B-C
senior citizen home!?.!
By Courtney Stelzel
THE BATTALION
With the support of state
Sen. Mike Moncrief, D-Fort
Worth, a new law designed to
regulate assisted living centers
went into effect Sept. 1. The law
will attempt to regulate Texas
assisted living centers like nurs
ing homes, which are currently
monitored by the Department of
Human Services (DHS).
“Any law that lumps us in
with nursing homes is a step in
the wrong direction because we
are not institutional, we are
more like a private home,” said
Linda Mylam, owner of the
Brazos Oaks Personal Care
Center in Bryan.
The law allows DHS to fine
the centers up to $1000 per
offense. Regulations were in
place prior to the law, but there
was not a government agency in
charge of maintaining these stan
dards.
“[The law] provides the
Department of Human .Services
with the tool to enforce some of the
regulations in place,” said Katrina
Daniel, legislative aide to
Moncrief.
This law comes in the
wake of a recent Houston
accident involving two elder
ly residents drowning in an
assisted living facility
because of flooding caused by
Tropical Storm Allison. Staff
members had lied about
accounting for all residents
during the evacuation.
Daniel said this law will
help ensure such incidents
