Facilities licensed for ___ beds or more must post residents' rights prominently.

Facilities licensed for 16 beds or more are required to prominently post residents' rights. This regulation is designed to ensure that residents, as well as their families and visitors, are aware of the rights entitled to them while residing in a care facility. Posting these rights helps foster an environment of transparency and accountability, allowing residents to understand their entitlements related to their care, privacy, and proper treatment.

While facilities with fewer beds may still have policies in place regarding residents' rights, the requirement for prominent posting is specifically applied to those with 16 or more beds. This distinction is crucial in ensuring that larger facilities maintain higher standards of awareness regarding the rights of their residents, aiding in the prevention of potential rights violations.
