Title 31, Chapter 8, Section 131
( 31-8-131)
The General Assembly finds that persons residing within personal
care homes are often isolated from the community and often lack the
means to assert fully their rights as individual citizens. The
General Assembly also recognizes that in order for the rights of
residents of personal care homes to be fully protected, residents
must be afforded a means of recourse when such rights have been
denied. It is therefore the intent of the General Assembly to
preserve the dignity and personal integrity of residents of personal
care homes by providing access to a legal process to hear and
redress the grievances of such residents regarding their individual
rights. |
