Consumer Voice Executive Director, Lori Smetanka, has a conversation with AGING MATTERS host, Cheryl Beversdorf, on how to help individuals receive the care and services of their choice and attain a high quality of life.

Submit a proposal for a concurrent session at the 2019 Consumer Voice Annual Conference.

Last week, Consumer Voice, along with representatives from 11 other groups, met with the Office of Management and Budget regarding the proposed nursing home rules to be issued by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

The House passed the IMPROVE Act (H.R. 7217) that includes two important provisions related to Medicaid home and community-based services. Contact your Senator and urge them to vote YES on the bill

Thank you to everyone who has already submitted comments to oppose the rollback of the emergency preparedness rules. For those who haven’t, there’s still time!

The emergency preparedeness requirements are targets of CMS’ recent proposed rollbacks.  Tell CMS that emergency preparedness regulations are critical for protecting residents of nursing homes!

Consumer Voice submitted comments to the Department of Labor opposing the proposed rule that would allow 16 and 17-year-olds to operate power patient lifts in health care settings, including long-term care settings.

Consumer Voice submitted comments to the Department of Homeland Security expressing strong opposition to the changes regarding “public charge.”

Now it’s easier than ever to say “NO” to CMS’s proposal to weaken nursing home emergency preparedness regulations – just sign on to Consumer Voice’s comment letter.
