Through the support of sponsors like you, long-term care residents can participate for free, providing them the unique opportunity to share their experiences with others, network with residents and advocates from around the country, and stay informed on the latest policies that will affect their daily lives. Your support also enables us to hold down participant costs, thus helping us bring together citizen advocates and ombudsmen to share advocacy tips and strategies for overcoming barriers and challenges to quality care. And we can bring the voice of the consumer to federal officials, as they talk directly to residents about living in a long-term care facility.
