Residents in care facilities have a defined set of protections that cover both privacy and safety. This broad protection is referred to as Nursing Home Resident Rights, which enshrines their dignity, autonomy, and the way care is provided, including privacy during personal care and safety from abuse or neglect. Confidentiality is related because it protects private health information, but it focuses specifically on information privacy rather than the overall rights and protections residents should receive. A deductible is unrelated to resident rights, and chronic care describes ongoing health needs rather than rights. So, the term that best captures rights to privacy and safety for residents in care facilities is Nursing Home Resident Rights.
