9. Intimacy
“Every resident has the right to meet privately with their spouse or another person in a room that assures privacy.”
In other words: You have the right to be alone with your spouse or partner, or a person you want to be intimate with.
The home must have a place where you can meet in private and be intimate if you wish. It does not matter what the person’s sex or gender is or whether or not you are married.
To give you privacy, staff must leave your door closed. Before opening your door, they must knock and ask you if it is okay to come in.
