Chris Carlson will review the Nursing Home Reform Act and Connecticut Patient’s Bill of Rights to show where grievance procedures come from, what they must include, and how they must be resolved by the nursing home; special consideration will be given to how grievance procedures may be used by LGBTQ+ residents to overcome common challenges.
