On February 23, 2010, the California Advocates for Nursing Home Reform (CANHR) released a new guidebook on psychoactive drugs as the first stage of CANHR's 2010 Campaign to End Inappropriate Drugging of California Nursing Home Residents.
The guidebook, designed for families or advocates of nursing home residents, provides basic information on psychoactive drugs in nursing homes, including their use and side effects.
The guide also reviews the applicable California legislation on informed consent and provides practical tips for nursing home residents or their family members to prevent misuse of psychoactive drugs.
