Quarterly oversight
What is a Human Rights Committee?
A Human Rights Committee, or HRC, is a group that looks at anything in a resident's care that could limit their rights. At Serenity the committee meets every quarter. It reviews behavior plans, psychotropic medications (medications that affect mood, thinking or behavior), and any restrictions on a resident's rights. For families, it means these decisions are looked at regularly by a committee, and not left to one person.
If you have a question or a concern about a resident's rights, call us at (951) 878-7075.
