energetic and hardworking of signs. Those born under this sign are sure to always reach towards great achievement. Those born from

January 20 to January 31 are members of the Aquarius sign. One can identify an

Aquarius by the originality that dominates all aspects of their life.

According to the Resident’s Bill of Right, every

resident has the right to be told who is

responsible for them and who is providing the

resident’s direct care.

In other words...

You still have a right to be told who is taking care

of you directly.

For example, they could be staff from an agency

or volunteers, they might work full-time or part-

time, or be permanent or temporary staff.

According to the Resident’s Bill of Right, every

resident has the right to be afforded privacy in

treatment and in caring for his or her personal

needs.

In other words...

You should also have privacy when your personal

needs are being looked after.

For example, when you are being dressed or

bathed, the door or privacy curtain should be

closed. When you use the washroom, the door

should be closed if that is what you prefer.
