 Important Knowledge
Good documentation not only can help you if
you ever have to go to court, and it can keep
you out of court in the first place!
Residential Care Facilities, Assisted Living
Facilities, Homes for the Developmentally Disabled,
Homes for the Mentally Ill, Sheltered Care Homes,
Adult Residential Care Facilities, Group Homes,
and Nursing Homes all must prove the care they
provide.
Your documents are your proof of your
compliance to laws and regulations, and can be
used in your defense to show that you did follow
a standard of care! Note: The resident’s
or employee’s record is the item most often
used in personal injury cases, workers compensation
cases, and other lawsuits.
| "The
only way a facility owner, Administrator,
or other staff member can protect
themselves from citations and
lawsuits is if they can prove they have
acted reasonably to comply with regulations.
Documentation is the primary
proof. The legal system follows the common
rule, 'if you didn’t document
it, then it wasn’t
done.'" ~Diane
Morrow, LNHA |
The only way you can prove what you did is
through documented:
- Forms
- Policies
- Procedures
- Information and Educational
Documents
- Documented Training Programs
