Room & Recourse

The states

One page per state, each quoting the state's own published materials on involuntary nursing-home transfer and discharge: the grounds, the notice, the office that hears the appeal, what the state publishes about bed-hold and return, and the long-term-care ombudsman's published contact. The federal floor — 42 CFR 483.15, the fair-hearing rules, and CMS guidance — is on a page of its own.
