Older adults have the right to dignity, safety, respect, and to have their voices heard when concerns arise.
Learn about abuse awareness and find resources for advocacy and assistance to ensure older adults and their loved ones are informed, supported, and treated fairly in all care settings.
If you have concerns about patient rights violations, you have options. An ombudsman can be contacted through JABA and facilitate solutions between care teams, families, and patients.
