Protecting The Rights Of Nursing Home Residents In The Midlands And Low Country

In 1985, the South Carolina State Legislature passed the Bill of Rights for Residents of Long-Term Care Facilities. Under the law, residents in nursing homes and rehabilitation centers have the right to expect administration executives, staff and other residents to treat them with respect and dignity, while protecting their civil rights.

Despite the law, however, every year thousands of nursing home residents throughout the state suffer physical and emotional abuse at the hands of the very people they trust to provide for their care and safety.
