I understand that the Governor signed a new law about nUrsing homes this summer. What does it do? A. The Governor signed JSenate bill 316 on Aug. 23, creating the Nursing Home Care Reform act of 1979. The ne\y law becomes effective March 1, 1980. It contains several important new provisions. Creates in law residents' rights for those who live in long-term care facilities: - the right to manage his- her own finances. - the right to personal property and clothing. - the right to his-her own physician. - the right to refuse treatment.- - the right to privacy. - the right to free com­ munication. - the right to choose visitors. - the right to conjugal living by married persons. - freedom from punish­ ment by restraints. - freedom from abuse. - freedom to exercise religion. - - freedom from in­ voluntary discharge without a hearing. The law requires each long-term care facility to have a residents' council. It provides strong en­ forcement tools for the state to use in dealing with sub­ standard providers: - it requires full ownership disclosure. - it allows inspections for compliance. - it allows the department to issue temporary or con­ ditional licenses. - it allows the department to fine facilities not in compliance. - - it allows the department to revoke licenses. - it allows the department to provide monitors in facilities with poor per­ formance. - it provides for court order receivership in order to protect patients in a home which is bankrupt, aban­ doned, or totally out of compliance with the regulations. Q. Does the new law do anything to improve the quality of care? - A. The law requires that nurses' aides, orderlies and technicians take a certified training course in the basics of patient care. Many of us v feel that this is an important step in improving the quality of care in long-term care. facilities. Better training for nurses' aides should im­ prove morale, help decrease turnover, and reduce ac­ cidents and errors in patient care. Residents' councils in long-term care facilities provide a unique opportunity for participating in the functioning of the home. Such councils provide residents with a sense of community and of civic pride, as well as a mechanism for resolving disagreements with the home's management or with staff or other jpatients.

MacBride,ASA Executive Vice President AmericanSociety of Appraisers Past Value Forum columns have generated letters request­ ing answers to specific ques­ tions on appraising and appraisers. This column will be devoted to answering some of these questions. Q: I have several apothe­ cary jars that have been gather­ ing dust in our attic; recently I took one of them to a "col­ lectors" shop to find out what it was worth. The proprietor gave me an opinion and then offered to buy it from me. Is there arty way I can find out if this is its tme value f Mrs. J.H., Oceanside, CA. A. A qualified professional personal property appraiser will be able to appraise the value of your jars. It's best to find a tested/certified apprai­ ser. Check your Yellow Pages. Ask for the appraiser's qualifi­ cations and what the fee will be. The professional appraiser will give you an unbiased opinion of value, documented and signed. The American Society of Appraisers con­ siders it unethical to charge a "percentage" fee, or to engage in the buying or selling of an item to be appraised. Q: I had my sterling silver service appraised 5 years ago; should I get another appraisal, or is the old one still up-to- date. G.A., Toledo, Ohio. A: The value of sterling silver artifacts has appreciated so dramatically in the past few years that it would be wise for you to have it re-appraised. In all probability, your appraisal of five years ago no longer reflects the present worth of your sterling service. < Q: I thought appraisers had to be tested and licensed just like real estate agents. I called our countyt division of licenses and they said they don't license appraisers, nor does the state. Are we the only state that doesn't license real estate appraisers? J.G. Chicago, III A: No, Illinois is not the only state that doesn't license real property appraisers. In fact, only about 13 states require that, to appraise real property, one must be a licensed real estate broker. As far as any other kinds of appraisers (personal property, machinery and equipment, etc.), there are no state laws requiring licensing, testing or certification of these prac­ titioners. In other words, ANYONE can hang up a shingle and say he or she is an appraiser in these specialty areas. Therefore, when retain­ ing the services of an appraiser, it is wise to choose one who has been tested and certified by a major testing/certifying appraisal organization, and who can document his/her qualifications.
