resident rights
Occupant legal safeguards
Resident rights are the legal protections guaranteed to people living in care facilities, nursing homes, or rental housing.
In healthcare settings, these typically include dignity, privacy, freedom from abuse, and participation in care decisions.
For tenants, resident rights cover matters like proper notice before eviction, habitable conditions, and protection from discrimination.
The ombudsman explained her resident rights before the care conference.
