Nursing homes and other healthcare facilities must ensure that their residents have the right to personal privacy and confidentiality of their personal and medical records. This includes providing private space, respecting the right to privacy in communications, protecting the confidentiality of personal and medical records, and not taking or distributing unauthorized photographs or recordings. Facilities must also provide private space for visits and meetings, and must protect the confidentiality of personal information, including gender identity and sexual orientation. To ensure these rights are upheld, facilities must provide privacy curtains, remove residents from public view during care, and not post signs with clinical or personal information in view of others. Facilities must also communicate personal information in a way that protects the confidentiality and dignity of the resident.
