Approx. 23,000 nursing homes & intermediate care facilities for people with mental retardation receive Federal Medicare & Medicaid funding. Media reports have cited examples of convicted sex offenders residing in long-term care facilities &, in some cases, allegedly abusing other residents. Given concerns about resident safety, this report assesses: (1) the prevalence of sex offenders & others on parole for non-sex offenses living in long-term care facilities & the extent of any abuse they may have caused; (2) the legal requirements for notifying facilities & others when offenders are residents; & (3) the extent to which facilities have different supervision & separation requirements for offenders. Includes recommendations. Charts & tables.
