When families and friends of nursing home residents join together, they can be a powerful force for improving care and ensuring dignity. That’s why we at LTCCC have launched a Family Empowerment program dedicated to empowering families and building family councils.
In our monthly Family Empower Half Hour, we cover essential topics to help family members better advocate for their loved ones. In this recording, you’ll hear our March program where our Family Empowerment Team – Jenine Ferrari and Gloria Murray – is joined by New York State Ombudsman Claudette Royal to answer questions from families and advocates about how to best work with the ombudsman program to get results for residents. Video of this program is available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3Lgy7jPBIA.
