The government has created policies ensuring that all people have certain rights, protections, and freedoms. These rights, protections, and freedoms support people to live their life based on their own values, priorities, needs, and goals. Every person, regardless of their age, health, gender, race, or ability, has the same rights. You have the ethical and legal responsibility to protect the rights of the people your organization takes care of. This course discusses residents’ rights as well as how you can support and protect these rights for all of the individuals in your organization.
