18. Privacy during treatment
“Every resident has the right to be afforded privacy in treatment and in caring for their personal needs.”
In other words: You have the right to privacy when you are getting or talking about personal care or medical treatment.
For example, when a doctor or nurse is examining or treating you, they should close the door to your room or the curtain around your bed.
You should also have privacy when staff are helping you with your personal needs, like bathing or getting dressed.
When you use the washroom, the door should be closed if that is what you want.
