October is Residents’ Rights month.
Each year, Consumer Voice designates this month to honor individuals living in long-term care facilities.
It’s a time to celebrate the dignity, voice, and rights of every person receiving care.

This year’s theme “Stand with Me” reminds us of the power of solidarity-supporting residents as they advocate for themselves and encouraging the community to lift up their voices, too.
