Client Rights and Responsibilities

In short

• Every client gets a written list of rights on or before the first day of services, and signs for it.
• Ask before each task, explain what you are doing, and respect the client's routines and privacy.
• If a client refuses a task, do not insist. Write it on the visit record and tell the office before the end of your shift.
• Do only the tasks on the client's written assignment or task plan. If asked for anything else, say kindly that you cannot and call the office.
• If you think a client's rights are not being respected, by anyone, tell the Administrator the same day.
