During the month of October we celebrate Long Term Care Resident Rights and focus on honoring the dignity, respect, and the value of long-term care residents.

Residents have the right to self-determination and to use their voice to make their own choices. This year's Residents' Rights Month theme, Stand with Me, highlights the importance of solidarity and support for residents who stand up and advocate for their rights, as well as the value of encouraging the community to join residents in sharing their voices.

For more information about resident rights, how you can get involved, or help advocating for yourself or your loved one, please contact your local Long Term Care Ombudsman. https://lablaw.org/long-term-care-ombudsman

Every person deserves to feel safe.

At Legal Aid of the Bluegrass, one in five cases involves domestic violence or family-related legal issues. We help survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking understand their rights and seek available legal protections, including protective orders.

If you or someone you know needs legal help, we're here to listen.
