About this Course
Respecting and Promoting Resident Rights in Long-Term Care is a self-paced, interactive eLearning course that reviews the 29 resident rights defined in the Fixing Long-Term Care Act.
Everyone working in, volunteering in, or visiting long-term care homes plays a significant role in ensuring residents feel at home, are treated with kindness and respect, and receive the necessary support and services for their health and well-being. Throughout this course, learners will immerse themselves in an interactive long-term care setting that incorporates real-life situations shared by Ontario LTC residents.
Learners will receive an Ontario CLRI certificate for completing this course.
About the Orientation eLearning series
The Orientation eLearning series, created by the Ontario CLRI at the RIA, provides education for new team members during orientation, and for existing team members during their annual training. These scenario-based and interactive eLearning courses ensure that learners have the knowledge and skills needed to assist the people they support and are in line with Ministry of Long-Term Care guidelines. They were developed using evidence-based best practices and adult education principles, in collaboration with subject matter experts and LTC leaders.
Audience
This course is for long-term care team members, essential care partners, and volunteers.
