According to the Resident’s Bill of Right, every

resident has the right not to be neglected by the

licensee or staff.

In other words...

The owner and the staff at the home are not

allowed to neglect you.

Neglect is when the home fails to give you the

treatment, care, services, or help that you need for

your health, safety, or well-being. Neglect also

happens when someone, by not taking action, puts

your health, safety, or well-being at risk.

For example, you have the right to get medication that

is prescribed for you. If you need help getting to the

toilet, you should be taken to the washroom instead of

being forced to use incontinence products such as

diapers, pads, or plastic pants.

According to the Resident’s Bill of Right, every

resident has the right to be properly sheltered, fed,

clothed, groomed and cared for in a manner consistent

with his or her needs.

In other words...

You have the right to receive the care you need.

Your care should include:

a proper place to live,

enough good food to eat,

clean clothes to wear, and

help with looking clean and tidy.

The staff at your long-term care home should look

after any special needs you have.
