Did you know residents in long-term care have the right to refuse care?

That includes medications, treatments, and services. Informed consent isn’t optional. It’s a right.

October is Residents’ Rights Month, a time to reflect on dignity, autonomy, and advocacy in long-term care. Every resident deserves to be seen, heard, and supported.

Let’s recommit to listening, speaking up, and ensuring every right is upheld.
