How OBRA admission rules affect nursing facilities.
Because of disclosure requirements contained in the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1987, nursing facilities should review their admission agreement documents. The new rules become effective on Oct. 1 and cover resident rights, rules of conduct, and other expectations during a nursing home stay. Information contained in admission agreements, along with any changes, must be given to residents orally and in writing.
