Residents of nursing homes and assisted living facilities are entitled to certain rights under New Jersey law. These protections are designed to preserve their dignity, independence, privacy, and quality of life.

Among other protections, residents generally have the right to:

  • Be treated with dignity and respect
  • Receive appropriate care & supervision
  • Maintain privacy & personal autonomy
  • Communicate with family members and loved ones
  • Manage personal affairs when able
  • Live in a safe and secure environment
  • Be free from abuse, neglect, exploitation & unnecessary restraints

When these rights are violated, families deserve answers and guidance regarding their legal options. Speaking with an attorney sooner rather than later can help ensure important evidence is preserved and that you have a clear understanding of the options available to you. 

At Grungo Law, we provide experienced guidance, responsive support, and compassionate representation for families facing these difficult circumstances.
