Many regulatory authorities require notification of adverse events involving vulnerable individuals, such as those in care facilities. In this study, almost 200 statutory notifications from residential care facilities (RCF; e.g., nursing homes, assisted living) were analyzed to ensure residents' human rights (fairness, respect, equality, dignity, and autonomy) were upheld during adverse events. In the majority of adverse events and their management, residents' human rights were upheld.
