Nursing home neglect in Boston and throughout Massachusetts occurs when a care facility fails to provide residents with adequate medical attention, nutrition, hygiene, or supervision. Under Massachusetts law, nursing homes are regulated by M.G.L. c. 111 and 105 CMR 150.000. Sections 72F through 72L address abuse, neglect, mistreatment, and reporting duties, while 105 CMR 150.000 sets standards for long-term care facilities. When they fall short, families may have the right to pursue a civil lawsuit to recover compensation for the harm their loved one has suffered.

Massachusetts nursing home residents have broad legal protections under Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 111, Section 70E (M.G.L. c. 111, § 70E). The statute, commonly known as the Patients' Bill of Rights, gives nursing home residents rights such as written notice of their rights at admission, freedom of choice in selecting a facility or physician when applicable, itemized billing, access to medical records, privacy during care, and informed consent.
