Summary
You Keep YOUR Rights
Now that you live in a nursing home or a residential care facility, you have the same rights you've always had... and a few more.
This Is YOUR Home
You have the right to make yourself at home - to have visitors, to have your own belongings, to pursue your own interests. You also have the right to leave, and the right to stay.
This Is YOUR Health
You have the right to know what your health condition is, to decide how you will be cared for, and to receive all the care you agreed to in your plan of care.
This Is YOUR Life
You have the right to be treated with dignity and respect at all times. You have the right to decide how you want to spend your day, when to get up and go to bed, and what you want to do during the day.
