According to residents' rights, is it allowed to read a resident's mail before giving it to them?

Residents' rights are designed to ensure dignity, privacy, and autonomy for individuals living in care facilities. One of the core aspects of these rights is the confidentiality and privacy concerning personal correspondence. When it comes to handling a resident's mail, reading the mail prior to delivering it to the resident violates their right to privacy and can be seen as an infringement on their personal autonomy.

The correct answer is that it is not allowed to read a resident's mail before giving it to them. This policy protects the integrity of the resident's personal communications, allowing them to maintain control over their own information and correspondence. Residents should be able to trust that their letters and mail will be kept confidential and not subjected to unauthorized scrutiny.
