Which of the following is NOT a resident right under federal law?

The right to scheduled social activities is not explicitly recognized as a resident right under federal law in nursing homes. Federal regulations primarily focus on ensuring that residents have access to necessary medical care, the ability to participate in their own care planning, and the right to privacy regarding personal matters. These rights are designed to protect the dignity and well-being of residents, ensuring they can access the healthcare they need and maintain their autonomy in decision-making processes.

While social activities can greatly enhance the quality of life for residents, the law does not mandate that nursing homes provide scheduled social activities as a right. This means that while facilities often include social activities as part of their offerings, it is not a required resident right under federal regulations.
