CMS Definition of Person-Centered Care: to focus on the resident as the locus of control and support the resident in making their own choices and having control over their daily lives.

According to CMS’ State Operations Manual: §483.25(m), facilities must ensure that residents who are trauma survivors receive culturally competent, trauma-informed care in accordance with professional standards of practice and accounting for residents’ experiences and preferences in order to eliminate or mitigate triggers that may cause re-traumatization of the resident.

5. Residents' Rights

    a. Elder Abuse, Neglect, and Exploitation

    b. Alzheimer's disease and other dementias

National Ombudsman Definition of Residents’ Rights: Residents’ Rights are guaranteed by the federal 1987 Nursing Home Reform Law. The law requires nursing homes to “promote and protect the rights of each resident” and places a strong emphasis on individual dignity and self-determination. Nursing homes must meet federal residents’ rights requirements if they participate in Medicare and Medicaid. Some states have residents’ rights in state law or regulation for nursing homes, licensed assisted living, adult care homes, and other board and care facilities. A person living in a long-term care facility maintains the same rights as an individual in the larger community. Please click here to view the Code of Federal Regulations, CMS Requirements for Long-term Care Facilities, 42 CFR § 483.10 – Residents rights.

CMS Definition of Elder Abuse: A deliberate act that results in physical harm, pain, or mental anguish. It can be physical, verbal, sexual, or mental. Abusers can be staff, residents, or visitors.

CMS Definition of Elder Neglect: The failure by the nursing home, its staff, or outside service providers to provider services and goods to a resident that are necessary to avoid physical harm, pain, mental anguish, or emotional distress.
