Your Rights as a Nursing Home Resident
Nursing homes receiving federal funds must comply with federal laws that specify that residents receive high quality care. In response to reports of widespread nursing home neglect and abuse in the 1980s, Congress passed the 1987 Nursing Home Reform Act, which requires a nursing home to "provide services and activities to attain or maintain the highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being of each resident in accordance with a written plan of care..."
Among other requirements, the Code of Federal Regulations requires nursing homes to provide appropriate treatment and services. Nursing homes are required to ensure:
- Adequate supervision
- Body-weight maintenance
- Adherence to dietary and nutritional standards
- Adequate protein and liquid intake for hydration and health
- Cleanliness
- Safety
- Assistive devices for accident prevention
