October is recognized as Residents' Rights Month in the United States, a month-long observance dedicated to informing long-term care residents about their fundamental rights to dignity, respect, and self-determination. Quality care starts with respecting resident choices. Your local Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program joins a nationwide celebration of Residents' Rights Month.
The LTC Ombudsman program is dedicated to ensuring these rights are protected. Our ombudsmen are trained, neutral advocates who work to resolve problems and champion the rights of residents. We offer confidential assistance to residents and their families, addressing concerns without fear of retaliation.
How You Can Help:
- Share information about residents' rights with family and friends.
- Learn about volunteer opportunities with our program.
- Contact us with any questions or concerns.
This Residents' Rights Month, join us in supporting residents who speak up for their rights. Together, we can ensure every resident lives a life of quality and respect. For more information, call (800) 942-7830.
