Consumer’s Guide to Understanding and Protecting Nursing Home Residents’ Rights
The Nursing Home Reform Law was enacted to ensure that nursing home residents “attain or maintain the highest practicable physical, mental and psychosocial well-being.” In addition to this federal act, most states have specifically enacted their own set of regulations governing nursing home residents’ rights. These legal protections are often referred to as the residents’ “Bill of Rights.” This informative Guide walks you through the various residents’ rights and what they mean to your loved one. A few of the rights reviewed include the:
- Right to be free from abuse and neglect
- Right to make your own decisions
- Right to be fully informed
- Right to be treated with dignity and respect
- Right to manage finances
- Right to keep personal property and have it secured
- Right to participate in health care planning
- Plus many other important rights!
Our natural instinct is to protect our loved ones, especially those that are elderly and vulnerable. Early detection is critical if you believe your loved one may be at risk. This Guide helps families recognize and report abuse or rights violations. It also gives helpful insight on what to look for if you suspect your loved one may be suffering from:
- Physical abuse
- Psychological abuse
- Neglect
