What are senior citizen rights in retirement homes?
Before entering a nursing home, the person and their family should work with the facility to discuss the rights and responsibilities of the facility and the resident. If there are specific questions call or e-mail The Center as needed. Knowing the state in which the patient lives is very helpful. We also recommend that individuals visit the following websites to thoroughly research all potential issues: www.seniorresource.com www.aarp.org www.elderlawanswers.com www.aoa.dhhs.gov www.abanet.org/aging www.elderabusecenter.
