Oof, a little harder to deal with. There are a lot of sketchy nursing homes out there and they seem to be regulated at a much lower frequency.
There are supposed to be long term residency protections guaranteed through CMS as well, and there’s supposed to be state regulation. In my experience since you’re dealing with residency as opposed to short term care the rules can get a little more open to interpretation.
So it would depend on your individual situation. I would check the CMS residency right page and see if what you’re dealing with is easily interpreted as a violation. Every state is also supposed to have a free Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program that is supposed to provide families and residents help with resolving complaints, provide advocacy and sometimes financial help.
Hope this helps, I hate dealing with nursing homes. It’s another dark corner of American healthcare that shouldn’t exist.
