Why is it important to ensure the residents' rights are upheld in your community?

According to the National Ombudsman Resource Center, federal and state laws guarantee specific rights to residents in long-term care facilities, emphasizing dignity, choice, and self-determination. The same core principles of respect and fairness apply broadly, which is why it is important to ensure the residents' rights are upheld in your community, creating a foundation for trust, safety, and mutual respect.
