I don't know about New Jersey but people who live in residental facilities including Nursing homes already have a federally guarentedd Bill of Rights. Sadly most consumers don't know how to exercise those rights and in some cases family members actually stand in the way of those rights being exercised. When care facilities don't honor the individual rights of the consumer's they serve it becomes necessary to staff and other involved parties to speak out. Our disabled and elderly are often silent because they have no political voice. This is a subject near and dear to me as I am involved in the care of disabled adults.
Peace and Namaste
