Residents’ Rights

All persons living in Ontario long-term care homes are afforded 29 distinct rights, referred to as the Residents’ Bill of Rights. These rights are embedded in our provincial legislation, known as the Fixing Long-Term Care Act (FLTCA), 2021, and accompanying Regulations (O. Reg. 246/22).

Residents’ Councils can play an important role in raising awareness and supporting a shared understanding of these rights.
