Your determined advocacy can be the difference between going-through-the-motions nursing home care, and the high quality, person-centered care that residents are promised by federal law.
This fact sheet explains two areas from the recently revised CMS nursing facility surveyor guidelines. These particular revisions confirm that 1) a facility must obtain a resident’s informed consent before administering medication (including antipsychotics), and 2) certain common admission agreement provisions violate the federal prohibition against financial guarantees.
Prompt action is needed whenever a nursing facility abandons a resident in a hospital. This short webinar will explain the relevant federal law and advocacy strategies to return the resident to their nursing facility home.
