Directs the Secretary to convene an advisory panel to submit recommendations on the use or improvement of resident assistants in such nursing facilities.

Amends SSA titles XVIII and XIX, as amended by the Medicare, Medicaid, and SCHIP Benefits Improvement and Protection Act of 2000, to authorize the use of resident assistants to perform feeding and hydration that would otherwise be performed by a nurse aide for residents of nursing facilities receiving payments under the Medicare or Medicaid program.
