Get a formal letter demanding the eviction be canceled, with references to federal nursing home laws.
Under the Nursing Home Reform Act, residents have the right to 30 days written notice before eviction. Without it, the eviction is illegal.
Federal law requires nursing homes to have a valid reason for eviction — and they must follow proper procedures. If they don't, they're violating the law.
A well-written demand letter with legal references often makes the nursing home reconsider — especially if they know you understand your rights.
If the nursing home continues the eviction illegally, you can file complaints, contact the ombudsman, or seek legal help. We'll show you how.
