Nursing Home Reform Act

PROTECTION FOR RESIDENTS

If your senior loved one was injured or harmed due to nursing home abuse or negligence, the law is on your side. In 1987, the nursing home reform act was created to protect residents from abuse, neglect and mistreatment. The act establishes standards of care for nursing homes and assisted living centers. The act requires the provision of certain services to each resident and establishes a residents' bill of rights. Services for residents include:

  • Periodic assessments for each resident
  • A comprehensive care plan for each resident
  • Nursing services
  • Social services
  • Rehabilitation services
  • Pharmaceutical services
  • Dietary services
  • A full-time social worker if the nursing home has more than 120 beds

To qualify for Medicaid and Medicare payments for long-term care of residents, nursing homes must be certified by the state and in compliance with the requirements of the nursing home reform act.
