Definition[edit | edit source]

Nursing home segregation refers to the practice of separating residents based on race, ethnicity, or other demographics. This form of discrimination is illegal and goes against the principles of equality and inclusivity in healthcare. Nursing homes should strive to create a supportive and integrated community for all residents, regardless of their background. Any instances of segregation should be reported and addressed promptly to ensure that all residents receive fair and equal treatment.
