Yes, a mentally disabled parent who is cared for by their children still has rights. They have the right to dignity, respect, appropriate care, and to make decisions about their own lives to the extent possible, regardless of their disability. Family members providing care should also ensure the parent's rights are upheld and seek support as needed to provide quality care.
