older people's rights

Older people have the right to live with dignity, respect, and freedom from discrimination. They should have access to healthcare, social services, and opportunities for participation in their communities. Their individual choices and preferences must be honored, especially regarding their living arrangements and care. Legal protections guard against abuse and ensure their voices are heard in decisions affecting their lives. Age should not limit their rights; instead, society should support their autonomy, ensuring they receive the necessary resources to enjoy a fulfilling life in their later years.
