Which term identifies the rights residents have within care facilities?

• A. Resident's bill of rights
• B. Resident treatment
• C. Resident independence
• D. Residents rights

Answer: (D)

Rights residents have in care facilities are defined by the Residents’ Bill of Rights. This formal document lists protections like dignity, privacy, participation in care decisions, information about care, and the right to complain without retaliation. The standard label, used in policy and regulations, is “Residents’ Bill of Rights” (also seen as “Resident Bill of Rights”); it marks these protections as enforceable rights rather than just general ideas. The phrase “residents rights” is a casual way to refer to the concept, but it doesn’t name the official document that communicates these protections.
