Elder Care: Make Informed Decisions and Become an Advocate In-Person
How do you find the best care for a senior loved one? Would you like to be a better advocate for elders who are receiving in-home care or living in a nursing home? Representatives from Elder Justice Committee of Metro Justice will describe the work they do, and provide information about their nursing home rankings. They can answer your questions about patient rights, preventing elder abuse, finding care, and support services available in Monroe County.
Elder Justice Committee of Metro Justice is a volunteer, progressive, not for profit, advocacy organization which for over 20 years has worked for elders to live purposeful, self-directed, meaningful, and dignified lives. They advocate for long-term care facilities to be transformed from hospital-like holding institutions into nurturing places where adults can live truly fulfilling lives in safety and with dignity; for seniors to receive needed supports to continue living in their homes as they age; and for vulnerable adults to be protected from abuse, neglect, and exploitation. Elder Justice Committee publishes federal government ratings of all nursing homes in Monroe County to inform and assist people when choosing a nursing home.
