Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect: Arbitration Clauses

Written by Adam Peck Category: Elder Law January 26th, 2013 1 min read

California law contains special arbitration provisions applicable to nursing home contracts. A skilled nursing facility may not include an arbitration agreement as part of the standard agreement form. Any such arbitration clause must be seperate from the standard admission agreement and must state in boldface type of not less than 12 points that “residents shall not be required to sign this arbitration agreement as a condition of admission to this facility, and cannot waive the ability to sue for violation of the Resident Bill of Rights.” See California Health and Safety Code Section 1599.81(b).
