Nursing Home and Assisted Living Laws: Federal and Ohio: Evictions

Introduction

 There are two types of nursing home discharges; voluntary and involuntary. If the nursing home resident agrees that they should leave the nursing home, this is a voluntary discharge. If the nursing home resident does not agree they should be discharged, this is an involuntary discharge. An involuntary discharge is also called an eviction. Other terminology used in place of involuntary discharge is inappropriate discharge, illegal discharge, and improper discharge.
