Buckeye Nursing Home Abuse Attorney Law Firm

In the first third of the twentieth century, there was not any federal assistance for the elderly. Generally they would be sent to “almshouses,” where the states would provide the care they saw fit to pay for. These facilities provided by the state were generally very poor quality. Social Security in the mid 1930′s led to the Hospital Survey and Construction Act. This ultimately led to federal grants for nursing homes in 1954. There was still almost no regulatory oversight. In 1968, the Moss Amendment was created to greatly improve nursing homes, but many states did not want to adhere to such high standards, so the “intermediate-care facilities” were created. These enabled the state nursing homes to still receive federal aid without having to adhere to high standards. Finally, in 1987, The Nursing Home Reform Act guaranteed a long list of federal rights to nursing home residents. Our Buckeye nursing home abuse lawyer knows your rights under federal law and will help you assert them.

Arizona nursing home residents should have quality care and nursing homes who choose to
