There are two very good booklets available: 1) How to Get Care from a Residential Care Facility and 2) Nursing Home Companion are most reliable resources for families. These booklets are prepared by attorneys at BET TZEDEK Legal Services and may be obtained for a minimum charge at www.bettzedek.org. A copy of residents’ rights should be included in each admission packet. The Ombudsman will be happy to provide these as well.
