What are the nursing homes duties to me?
Ask them for a copy of their duties under the Nursing Home Reform Act. Because of a previous history of inadequate care, in the late 1980s Congress passed laws which outline the minimum standards for health, safety, and resident rights in nursing homes. Chances are you’ll be surprised and pleased to learn all of your rights… but it’s necessary that you take the time to do so. If you’d like, contact me and I can send you further information on your rights as a nursing home resident.
