Respect to residents and their choices has been established as a fundamental right of nursing home residents. Despite the importance of this basic right, little is known about perceived respect in nursing homes and the factors associated with it. The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to examine perceived respect and its possible correlates across Ohio nursing homes. On average, nursing homes in Ohio had relatively high respect scores. After adjusting for a range of facility factors, I found facility size, facility location, resident participation in care planning and Center for Medicare and Medicaid star ratings in the staffing domain to be associated with perceived respect. Our understanding of how these factors affect respect among the resident population in Ohio nursing homes would benefit from a more nuanced examination of each subdomain of respect. Although additional research is needed, this study identified several potential next steps for policymakers seeking to ensure that residents are treated with respect.
