The plaintiffs say that Seven Hills at Groton failed to provide Active Treatment. Is this true?

0

Although the facility provided an extensive program of activities with which families of the patients were quite satisfied, these programs did not meet the Active Treatment standard at the time of the Settlement Agreement because (a) the facility’s staff was not informed by Department of Mental Retardation (DMR) that such a standard existed or what it entailed, and (b) the facility’s staff was not provided with tools to document the programs that it offered to its patients. The plaintiffs’ attorneys’ and Massachusetts Association of Retarded Citizens (ARC)’s claims that Rolland plaintiffs had limited programming in their nursing homes may be true of conventional nursing homes, but they have no truth as applied to Seven Hills Pediatric Center residents.
