Robyn Grant, Director, Advocacy & Outreach of The National Consumer Voice for Quality Long-Term Care on July 27, 9AM PST on www.blogtalkradio.com/kindethics.

The Consumer Voice has recently published a consumer guide called, Piecing Together Quality Long-Term Care: A Consumer’s Guide to Choices and Advocacy. The guide is intended to educate people with disabilities and older adults about their options for long-term services and supports and empower individuals to be self-advocates for quality long-term care. It features tips from consumers receiving services in nursing homes, assisted living/group homes and in their homes. It also provides information and resources to assist people currently living in nursing homes to move back into the community.
