Abstract
In a nationally representative study of 1,071 nursing home social services directors 80% of social services departments provided resident rights training and 60-70% were involved in abuse training. Departments headed by recent grads and in chain nursing homes or in the northeast were more likely to be involved in training. Seventy-two percent of social services directors were able to provide one-on-one training about reporting suspected abuse; education and licensure were related to ability to train.
