YAC - Know Your Rights

You have a right to...

GOOD CARE. This includes examples like....

Have your dietary restrictions and allergies respected.

Be open to new foods, having a choice in what is purchased and compromising on meal choices when needed or appropriate with your caregiver.

Three meals per day and snacks (i.e. if you’re working late, you get dinner still).

Know what food is available to eat when you are hungry without having to ask, you should not feel judged or condemned for eating food/being hungry but need to ensure you are eating healthy, balanced meals also. You are not required to eat food or meals which you do not enjoy, but you are encouraged to try different foods.

Junk food is ok in moderation. No one wants you to get sick!
