Oversight Committee on Quality of Care in Nursing Homes and Assisted Living Facilities – Membership

Updated seats on nursing and assisted living panel

Beginning October 1, 2026, the long-term care oversight committee’s membership changes. The Senate seat is removed. The House has one seat for a member of the House Health Committee, appointed by the Speaker. The law updates which groups get seats: it adds LeadingAge Maryland and names seats for Mid-Atlantic LifeSpan, Hospice Network of Maryland, Maryland Hospital Association, 1199SEIU United Health Workers East, AARP Maryland, United Seniors of Maryland, the Mental Health Association of Maryland (aging expertise), the Greater Maryland Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association, and the Maryland Association for Medical Adult Day Services. It removes the Health Facilities Association of Maryland and Voices for Quality Care. Each group chooses its own representative. The three assisted living industry seats should, when practical, represent programs with 1–4, 5–9, and more than 10 residents.
