Abstract
Nursing home complaint investigation procedures are established by each state's respective legislation. The purpose of this study was to determine the state statutes that had text addressing nursing home report and investigation of abuse and to describe the content of that text. All states and the District of Columbia have statutes addressing the licensure and re-certification of nursing homes. Fourteen of these licensure and re-certification of nursing home state statutes have text specifically addressing the topic of abuse reports and investigation in the nursing homes. Main concepts discussed in those sections were reporting requirements, mandatory reporting, and definitions.
