ESTATE OF JAMES BURNS, ETC. VS. CARE ONE AT STANWICK, LLC, ET AL. (L-2044-17, BURLINGTON COUNTY AND STATEWIDE) (A-1344-20)

 ESTATE OF JAMES BURNS, ETC. VS. CARE ONE AT STANWICK, LLC, ET AL. (L-2044-17, BURLINGTON COUNTY AND STATEWIDE) (A-1344-20)

In this interlocutory appeal, the court held that although the Legislature established a bill of rights for those living in assisted living residences, N.J.S.A. 26:2H-128(b), it did not recognize – as it had with residential health care facilities, rooming and boarding houses, dementia care homes, or nursing homes – their right to pursue a private cause of action for a breach of the bill of rights. The court also determined that the common law should not adopt such a cause of action.
