What is one of the rights residents have concerning grievances?

Residents have the right to voice grievances and recommend changes without fear of retaliation because this ensures that they can express their concerns openly and honestly. This right is fundamental in promoting a safe and respectful living environment, where feedback can lead to meaningful improvements in the quality of care and services provided.

A system that encourages residents to share their grievances without the risk of negative consequences supports a culture of transparency and accountability. It empowers residents to take an active role in their care and helps to address issues before they escalate.

The other options do not align with the established rights of residents. For instance, limiting grievances to only facility management does not ensure residents a comprehensive avenue for their concerns to be addressed. Complaining anonymously can undermine the opportunity for genuine dialogue and resolution, while restricting grievances to court only limits access to more immediate and informal resolution processes that might be more appropriate in many situations.
