There continue to be serious deficiencies in the quality of life available to many nursing home residents in the United States. One significant response to this undesirable situation is the nursing home Culture Change movement, which attempts to improve the nursing home environment-and consequently residents' quality of life-by making facilities less institutional and more homelike. One of the impediments often interfering with the adoption and implementation of culture change in specific facilities is apprehension by staff, administrators, and governing boards about potential legal liability and regulatory exposure if residents suffer injuries that might arguably be attributed to facility conditions or policies that were inspired and encouraged by the culture change movement. This article addresses and responds to the provider liability and regulatory apprehensions that impede the progress of culture change in nursing homes, using proposed new dietary services standards as an example.
