A newsletter for residents of long-term care facilities.

The May 2021 issue of The Resident Advocate is now available. The Resident Advocate provides:

• Information on residents’ rights and care issues 
• News and updates on national policy 
• Self-advocacy tips for obtaining person-centered, quality care

This issue includes information on visitation, group activities, and quarantining, including recent CDC and CMS guidance. It also includes links to our Resident Experience Survey, our webpage of resident stories from the COVID-19 pandemic, and information about this year’s Residents’ Rights Month. The newsletter is a great resource to share with long-term care residents. Nursing home staff, long-term care Ombudsman programs, family members, and other advocates are encouraged to forward this newsletter to residents or print and share copies. Download this issue or past issues from our website. Read the May 2021 Resident Advocate »
