Regularly inspect all bed frames, mattresses, and bed rails (if any) for safety; and all bed rails and mattresses must attach safely to the bed frame.

Assure the security of all personal funds of residents deposited with the facility.

Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or her rights.
