When something goes wrong in long-term care, do you know what to do? In this episode, we introduce Documenting Resident Concerns in Long-Term Care, a new resource created to help residents and families respond with confidence. From falls and pressure injuries to conflicts with staff, knowing what questions to ask and what details to document can be the key to real solutions.

Lori Smetanka and Jocelyn Bogdan of Consumer Voice share practical strategies for gathering information and advocating effectively. This joint project from the National Consumer Voice for Quality Long-Term Care and the National Center on Elder Abuse (NCEA) offers a clear path to stronger advocacy and better care.

Guests: Lori Smetanka, Consumer Voice Executive Director, and Jocelyn Bogdan, Consumer Voice Senior Policy Specialist

New Resources: Consumer Voice has created a new fact sheet and accompanying form to help consumers ask the right questions and document key information to advocate for themselves and address their concerns.
