Senior Citizen Retirement Home and Your Bill of Rights
As a retired senior, you have inalienable rights to standardized, regulated
senior citizen retirement home care, services, treatments, and facilities.
As is only just and fair, you have senior citizen retirement rights that coincide
with the human rights determined and designated in the U.S. Constitution.
You have the right to a quality senior citizen retirement home search, one which
allows (and encourages) your research, your bringing along friends and family,
and your investigating and asking questions.
You have the right to solicit the help of an area ombudsman (volunteer) or other
senior citizen retirement counsel who helps you research retirement home care
and facilities in your area. You have the right to ask for and should
ask for a list you can use to contact the individual homes to do preliminary,
informal interviews.
You have the right to ask about costs, services, accreditation, skills, regulations,
policies, and anything else related to senior citizen retirement homes, as all
of the above is public information.
You have the right to a senior citizen retirement home that has attentive, vigilant,
24-hour-a-day assistance, thoughtful and nurturing activities, and provisions
for healthy foods that are prepared and served by equally knowledgeable and
attentive staff. And you have the right to hygienic living and communal
spaces, comfortable and abuse-free DHR (Department of Human Resources)-licensed
facilities and service and medical personnel, and access to medical staff
and medications.
Overall, as a resident of a senior citizen retirement home, you have the right
to optimum care, respect, and attention—treatment you deserve and that
the home has a civil and legal obligation to provide.
