There are a number of federal regulations that govern long term health care facilities set forth in Nursing Home Reform Act. The basic gist of the Act is that nursing homes must provide services and care to attain or maintain the highest practicable physical, mental and psychosocial well-being of each resident. Additionally this care must be given based on written documentation for each resident, known as an individualized plan of care.
