What Type of Voice Do Assisted Living Residents Have? Transitioning to an assisted living community can be stressful for many seniors, partly because they worry about giving up control of their daily lives. According to the Resident Bill of Rights, senior residents have the right to the following: • To stay fully informed of services, costs, rules, and changes in care plans • To complain without fear of reprisal and with a prompt response from the staff • To participate in their care management, including the right to refuse treatment or medication • To review their medical records • To respect, dignity, and freedom • To accept or refuse visits from medical providers, family, and friends • To make independent choices regarding accommodations, clothes, and activities Administrators The leaders and executives of assisted living facilities have a hand in every aspect of the community. Caregivers Caregivers can be nurses, nursing assistants, or other professionals who help residents with activities of daily living and ensure they stay healthy and happy. Activities Directors The assisted living team members in charge of activities are responsible for planning, preparing, and executing daily recreation and entertainment for residents. At Belamour Care’s facilities in Vancouver, WA, we respect our residents’ freedom to make decisions regarding their care.
