Nursing Home & Assisted Living Facility Residents’ Rights
We are strong advocates for our clients who reside in facilities or who are entering a facility
for the first time, and their families. We are discrimination watchdogs and pay special
attention to the starting points of mistreatment or inferior service. These services include
source of payment, resident lifestyle preferences, providing necessary services, limits on use
of physical restraints, use of psychoactive medications and feeding tubes, visitors’ rights,
Admission Agreement prerequisites and arbitration claims.
In addition, we participate in care plans for our clients and their families. Care plans address
an individual’s particular needs and preferences. Too many families do not have a voice or
an advocate at the care plan meeting, creating a potential for dissatisfaction. We fill this role
for our clients and the value is immeasurable.
