Client Rights & Person-Centered Care brings the caregiver course together around the person you serve. The Home Care Bill of Rights (Minnesota Statutes section 144A.44) guarantees clients a set of rights, and person-centered care is how those rights become daily practice — care built around the client's goals, preferences, and dignity rather than the caregiver's routine. This course covers the Home Care Bill of Rights, person-centered care, autonomy and informed choice, dignity and respect, cultural responsiveness, privacy and confidentiality, and the client's right to voice concerns without retaliation. It ties together communication, boundaries, safety, and documentation from earlier lessons. The throughline: the client is the center of everything. When you honor their rights and build care around them as a whole person, dignity becomes the way you work.
