When an individual enters a nursing home or adult care home, he or she is guaranteed certain fundamental rights. Under North Carolina State Law these rights are found in the Nursing Home Residents’ Bill of Rights and the Adult Care Home Residents’ Bill of Rights. A copy of these rights should be posted within the facility. Any representative of the Ombudsman Program can help you understand these rights.
