Residents and Their Representatives Must be Informed of Rights including those in State law

Nursing Home Rights Must Get Notice

Pursuant to Federal Law under 42 CFR.483.10(g)(16), the facility must provide a notice of rights and services to the resident prior to or upon admission and during the resident’s stay.

(i) The facility must inform the resident both orally and in writing in a language that the resident understands of his or her rights and all rules and regulations governing resident conduct and responsibilities during the stay in the facility.

Facilities Must Also Provide State Resident Rights Laws

(ii) The facility must also provide the resident with the State-developed notice of Medicaid rights and obligations, if any.
(iii) Receipt of such information, and any amendments to it, must be acknowledged in writing.

Residents should be free from abuse and neglect, receive proper care and supervision to highest level practicable and must have their legal representative and physician notified in the event of a change in condition or accident.  Policies and Procedures need to be posted and notice give to residents of Medicare Medicaid benefits.  They should be able to direct care, have healthcare directives and many more basic expectations which are codified in state and federal law.

If you are concerned about abuse or neglect or other omissions in care and supervision leading to injury or death contact Kenneth LaBore for a free consultation.
