Residents' Rights are guaranteed by the federal 1987Nursing Home Reform Law. The law requires nursing homes to "promote and protect the rights of each resident" and places a strong emphasis on individual dignity and self- determination. Nursing homes must meet federal residents' rights requirements if they participate in Medicare and Medicaid. Some states have residents' rights in state law orregulation for nursing homes, licensed assisted living, adult care homes, and other board and care facilities. A person living in a long-term care facility maintains the same rights as an individual in the larger community.

although it was virtual and not live, it was not "interactive". instructor essentially read us the slides. given the topic, that was still effective, but if the course was longer it may have lost my interest.
