Elderly Rights

Elderly rights ensure that older adults are treated with dignity, respect, and fairness. These rights include protection from abuse, neglect, and discrimination; access to healthcare and social services; the freedom to make decisions about their lives; and the right to live in safe, supportive environments. Legislation often mandates that societies uphold these rights, recognizing the value and contributions of older individuals. Ensuring elderly rights promotes their independence, well-being, and participation in community life, reflecting a commitment to honoring their dignity at every stage of life.
