Yes. The Residents’ Bill of Rights is set out in Ontario law under the Fixing Long-Term Care Act, 2021, and long-term care homes are legally required to uphold it. These rights include dignity, privacy, freedom from abuse, and the ability to participate in care decisions and raise concerns without fear of retaliation. If these rights are violated, complaints can be made to the appropriate authorities and, in some cases, pursued further.
