Residents Rights 2007

"Advancing Excellence: A Residents' Perspective on Quality"

Residents' Rights Week is designated by NCCNHR: The National Consumer Voice for Quality Long-Term Care and is celebrated the first full week in October each year to honor residents living in all long-term care facilities, including nursing homes, sub acute units, assisted living, board and care, and retirement communities. It is a time for celebration and recognition offering an opportunity for every facility to focus on and celebrate awareness of dignity, respect and the value of each individual resident.
