Long-term care in Ontario: "Every resident has the right not to be neglected by the licensee or staff. Neglect is when the home fails to give you the treatment, care, services, or help that you need for your health, safety, or well-being." #LongTermCare#seniors#onpoli#onhealth
Neglect happens when someone, by not taking action, puts your health, safety, or well-being at risk. You have the right to get medication that is prescribed for you. You have the right to be taken to the washroom instead of being forced to use incontinence products #LongTermCare
Bill of Rights for Ontario LTC residents: "Every resident has the right to be properly sheltered, fed, clothed, groomed & cared for in a manner consistent with his/her needs. This includes: a proper place to live, enough good food to eat & clean clothes to wear" #onpoli#onhealth
