Under the Older American's Act, nursing home residents have the right to a dignified existence, including the right to self-determination, the right to communicate with family members and other individuals outside the care facility, and the right to have access to the medical services of their choosing. This is a federal law that applies to all nursing home residents in the state of Alabama.
Sadly, the rights of many vulnerable adults are routinely violated by staff and administrators at nursing care facilities. Residents are sometimes treated like prisoners, denied access to their friends, loved ones, and doctors outside the nursing home. When this happens, nursing home residents often do not tell anyone about the abuse or neglect out of fear of retaliation by nursing home staff. The Birmingham nursing home attorneys at The Walker Law Firm can help protect victims against retaliation when they reveal that they have been abused or neglected by employees at a nursing care facility.
