The 1987 Federal Nursing Home Reform Law required nursing homes to “promote and protect the rights of each resident.” Every nursing home resident should have a dignified existence, and the resident rights are written to help ensure that they do. To see the specific rights, please refer to the following websites: http://www.nccnhr.org This website provides the fact sheets from National Citizens Coalition for Nursing Home Reform (NCCNHR). Click on the residents rights to review the information. www.dsd.state.md.us/comar/ The state law for resident rights in nursing home can be found in the Code of Maryland Regulations 10.07.09.08. You can search by title. The nursing home regulations are found in Title 10.
