On the federal level, 42 CFR Part 483 sets nationwide requirements for nursing homes that receive Medicare or Medicaid funding. These include detailed rules on staffing levels, medical record access, care planning, infection prevention, and resident autonomy. If a nursing home violates these regulations, it can face state and federal sanctions—and lawsuits from harmed families. Our legal team uses these regulations as a framework to investigate and prove misconduct in both civil litigation and administrative hearings.
