A Week Supporting Resident Advocacy

May 13, 2024 - May 17, 2024        

This week Consumer Voice is celebrating long-term care resident advocacy.  Bringing the voice of residents and family members to the policy and advocacy tables is powerful! No one can relay an experience as well as the person who has lived it!   

Follow us on social media this week where we'll be highlighting resident voices and key resources.
