The answer is True: All residents have the right to receive information on Advance Health Care Directives.

Explanation: Advance Health Care Directives are legal documents that allow individuals to outline their preferences for medical care if they become unable to make decisions for themselves. This includes living wills and durable powers of attorney for health care.

In many jurisdictions, healthcare facilities are required by law to inform residents about their rights to make these directives. This ensures that individuals are aware of their options and can make informed decisions about their future healthcare. The aim is to respect patient autonomy and ensure that their wishes are followed in critical situations.

For example, in the United States, the Patient Self-Determination Act (PSDA) of 1990 mandates that healthcare providers, including hospitals, nursing homes, and other facilities, must inform patients of their rights under state law to make decisions concerning their medical care, including the right to formulate advance directives.
