Media reports have cited examples of convicted sex offenders residing in long-term care facilities and, in some cases, allegedly abusing other residents. Given concerns about resident safety, GAO was asked to assess (1) the prevalence of sex offenders and others on parole for non-sex offenses living in long-term care facilities and the extent of any abuse they may have caused, (2) the legal requirements for notifying facilities and others when offenders are residents, and (3) the extent to which facilities have different supervision and separation requirements for offenders. GAO analyzed a national database for sex offenders and analyzed state databases in a sample of eight states for sex offenders and parolees. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-326/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-326.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-326/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-326.pdf GAO-06-326 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-326 Other Written Product GAO-06-326; Long-Term Care Facilities: Information on Residents Who Are Registered Sex Offenders or Are Paroled for Other Crimes; Convictions Criminals Federal law Government information dissemination Long-term care Nursing homes Parolees Records Registries Reporting requirements Sex crimes DOJ National Sex Offender Registry Volume 108 Page 1796 108 Stat. 1796 Volume 110 Page 1345 Volume 110 Page 3093 110 Stat. 1345 110 Stat. 3093 Volume 117 Page 650 117 Stat. 650 Public Law 103-322 Public Law 108-21
