Rights of the Elderly

The rights of the elderly are legal protections ensuring they are treated with dignity, respect, and fairness. They include the right to safety, adequate healthcare, social protection, and freedom from abuse or neglect. Elderly individuals also have the right to privacy, participate in community activities, and make their own choices about living arrangements. These rights aim to promote independence, well-being, and social inclusion, recognizing their valuable contribution to society and the need for special considerations due to age-related challenges.
