Ohio Nursing Home Abuse

Is someone you love in a nursing home? Did you know that there are both state and federal laws that were passed to protect nursing home residents? There is a law in Ohio known as the Nursing Home Residents' Bill of Rights that specifically guarantees certain rights to nursing home residents in Ohio, like the right to a safe environment and the right to adequate care.

There is also a section of federal laws that were passed to protect nursing home residents. These laws guarantee all nursing home residents in the United States the right to adequate supervision to prevent accidents, and the right to appropriate care.
