RESIDENTS’ RIGHTS GUIDE
Know your Rights and Protections as a Nursing Home Resident. As a resident at a nursing home, you have rights and protections under Federal and state law that help ensure you get the care and services you need. For example, the nursing home must tell you about these rights and explain them in writing in a language you understand. They must also explain in writing how you should act and what you’re responsible for while you’re in the nursing home. You must acknowledge in writing that you got this information.

The Rainbow Resource Guide is a community resource developed by SAGE Metro Detroit, now MiGen, for older LGBTQ+ adults.
Many obstacles remain for LGBTQ older adults. Our laws fail to provide clear coverage; funding often eludes our communities and fighting discrimination is an ongoing battle.
