Residents' Rights

Residents' Rights refer to the legal protections and freedoms granted to individuals living in facilities like nursing homes or assisted living centers. These rights ensure that residents can live with dignity, safety, and respect. Key aspects include the right to make personal choices, participate in decisions about their care, receive visitors, and maintain privacy. Additionally, residents are entitled to fair treatment without discrimination or abuse. Understanding these rights helps individuals advocate for themselves and ensure that their needs and preferences are respected in community living settings.
