Resident Rights Letter
Imagine you are the director of a LTC facility. Your best friend, who lives out of town, is searching for a facility for her 90 year old mother and requests information about your facility. Write a letter explaining how your facility manages the following:
- Healthy,safe and respectful environment that includes family and friends
- Quality of life
- Rights regarding services provided
- Right to participate in own care
- Right to choose
- Informed consent
- Right to privacy/ confidentiality
- Security of possessions
- Dealing with grievances
Describe specifically how your facility ensures each right is honored for all patients. For example: DON’T: “We make sure people can choose their activities.” DO: “Our facility has an xbox and Wii game consoles in each resident’s room. Volunteers or CNAs help residents select the game they want to play.” (Don’t use this example).
Include how BOTH OBRA and HIPAA support Resident Rights. Cite specific examples.
Make it personable and be creative. It may help to research different LTC facilities. You can find more traditional facilities or patient-centered facilities, whichever you prefer.
Use the patient rights and responsibilities in your textbook as a guide when composing your letter. You may need to research if you do not fully understand an area you need to discuss.
Letters need to be handwritten and legible.
