Suzanne talks more about the 20 Bill of Rights for senior living residents with Kelley Smith at CarePartners Senior Living, a code of conduct that all senior living communities have to follow by law. Residents have a right to their money, to be involved and have access to what's theirs. If they think their care plan isn't being followed, or a caregiver is being rude, they have a right to speak their mind without fearing repercussions.

12. To manage personal/financial affairs unless legally restricted.

13. To have access to, and participate in, social activities.

14. To be encouraged and assisted in exercising your rights as a citizen.

15. To be free of any written contract or agreement language with the facility or community that purports to waive their rights or the facility's liability for negligence.

16. To voice grievances and suggest changes in policies and services to either staff or outside representatives without fear of retaliation.
