October is Resident’s Rights Month

October is Residents’ Rights Month, an annual event designated by National Consumer Voice for Quality Long-Term Care to honor residents living in all long-term care facilities and those receiving care in their home or community. This year's Residents' Rights Month theme, “The Power of My Voice”, emphasizes self-empowerment and recognizes the power of residents being vocal about their interests, personal growth, and right to live full, enriching lives. To honor this month’s theme, Consumer Voice is hosting a Resident's Voice Challenge which encourages residents to submit essays, poems, artwork, drawings, or videos related to the theme.
