Resource Highlight: Advocating for Rights and Better Care in Nursing Homes: Tips for Residents and Families
 Consumer Voice's fact sheet, Advocating for Rights and Better Care, provides tips for resident and families for advocating for change in their nursing facilities and advocacy strategies for impacting long-term care policy. Nursing home residents have the right to quality, person-centered care, but too often, residents find themselves in situations where their rights are being violated and their needs are not being met. It is important to know the steps to take to advocate for yourself or your loved one when this happens. If things go wrong, there are specific actions you can and should take to try and change the situation within the facility. There are also ways to advocate for change on a broader level outside of the facility.
